Okay so by the title of this post you are probably thinking to yourself...yuck...is that even possible?! But let me explain! I love crock pot cooking, I always have. When life is busy and you want to come home to a dinner simmering and your house smelling fabulous..then the crock pot is really your answer. I have tried all sorts of things in the crock pot-taco soup, chili, dips, meatballs, roast, curry chicken, and now LASAGNA. My favorite crock pot cookbook is Fix-It-And-Forget-It (you can find it at Target or Michael's). When I was paging through it, I turned up my nose when I saw lasagna, but I decided to give it a shot and man it was easy, wholesome, and tasty. I was brave enough to take it to dinner at our friend's house and all four of us loved it! There is room to be flexible with the meat, cheese, and sauce you use. You could also turn it in to a veggie lasagna if your not a meat lover.
So check out the recipe below and try it. . .if you dare. ;)
