Making Crockpot Lasagna

When I tell people I make lasagna in my crockpot, they always look at me and ask if I'm sure. They can't believe that their crockpot can be used to make this wonderful dish.

This actually began as an experiment and has since become a family favorite.

I begin with ground turkey. The packages of turkey are just over a pound. I brown the meat with chopped onion. If you like other seasonings with the meat, this is the time to add them in. Once the meat is brown I add in one jar of Prego sauce (don't throw away the jar). You can use any brand of sauce or even make your own.

Once the meat is done, it's time to create the lasagna casserole. I spoon a bit of the meat sauce on the bottom of the crockpot. I then use regular lasagna noodles. Do not buy the type that are no boil. You want regular lasagna noodles. I generously coat the noodles with ricotta cheese, then break to fit the crockpot. I cover the bottom of the crockpot, over the sauce with the noodles. Place the noodles cheese side up.

I chop up one head of cauliflower and one head of broccoli. I dice a few zucchini. I also wash half a bag of spinach leaves. I put a generous layer of the mixed vegetables on top of the noodles. I top this with Italian blend cheese. Just generously sprinkle on top of the vegetables.

Repeat layers until the crockpot is full. My crockpot is smaller, so I only have two layers of vegetables. End your layering with ricotta covered noodles on top.

Remember that empty jar you saved after browning the meat. Put a quarter cup of water in the jar and shake to create a very runny tomato sauce. Just before plugging in the crockpot, pour the water over the top of the top of casserole.

Cook on high for four hours. After four hours, I took off the lid and pushed the top noodles down to absorb a bit of the liquid. I turned it down to low and cooked one more hour.

We are not a mushroom eating family. If your family likes mushrooms, try adding those in, either instead of one of the other vegetables or in addition to the others.

My family enjoys the taste of the Italian blend cheese. I know others prefer a Parmesan cheese. Try Italian blend in the casserole and then shredded Parmesan on the top.

You can also try this recipe with an Alfredo sauce instead of a tomato sauce. As I mentioned, the first time I made this dish, it was an experiment. So try your own experimenting to find the right combination of ingredients for your family.

Crock Pot Recipe for Lasagna

People think I'm crazy when I tell them I make my lasagna in a crock pot. They chuckle and laugh, and I shrug my shoulders and invite them over for dinner. When they enter my home they are amazed at the aromas and anxiously sit down to eat.

They always end up eating their words after they eat my lasagna. It is easily the best I've ever tasted. Although it requires a little more preparation than most of my crock pot recipes on my website, it's well worth the extra effort. Bon Appetit!

Healthy Vegetarian Crockpot Lasagna

Lasagna is many people's favorite Italian recipe. There are various kinds of lasagna, so whether you enjoy a classic beef lasagna, a salmon, and ricotta one or even a vegetarian lasagna, there is a recipe for you.

The main ingredient in this dish is noodles, which are several inches in diameter and rectangular; you layer these with your chosen filling in between them. This recipe is served hot, cut into squares or rectangles, and you might like to serve some parmesan cheese on the side, to sprinkle over the top.

Not only can you choose from lots of different varieties of this dish but you can also choose your preferred cooking method. This Italian recipe does not have to be baked. You can make it in your slow cooker if you want to and it comes out really nice.

Crockpot lasagna is just as good as the oven-baked kind, perhaps even better because the flavors have plenty of time to blend perfectly. The following recipe, which serves six people, is vegan, vegetarian and low calorie as well as low fat since tofu is used instead of cheese.

What You Need:

1 package silken tofu
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 box lasagna noodles
4 cups tomato sauce
20 oz frozen spinach
1/4 cup soy milk
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 package firm tofu
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

How To Make It:

Thaw the spinach and pat it dry. Add both types of tofu to a blender or food processor, as well as the salt, basil, garlic powder, lemon juice and soy milk and process the mixture until it is smooth. Stir in the spinach.

Add a cup of tomato sauce to the slow cooker, and then add a third of the noodles and then a third of the tofu mixture. Repeat these layers a couple of times, finishing with tomato sauce. Cook for six to eight hours on low or until the noodles are soft.

What To Serve With Lasagna

Technically this is a meal in itself and in Italy, where this dish is from, it is served alone or perhaps with a basic green salad. A couple of types of lettuce leaves and perhaps some sliced tomato or cherry tomatoes is nice, then you can have a vinaigrette dressing on top or maybe some lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Keep the salad simple so the main focus is on the tasty entree itself.

In the United States, the United Kingdom and some other countries, this meal is commonly served with garlic bread or fries on the side, which makes it really filling but if you do not want to eat that many carbohydrates forget the fries and bread and opt for the salad instead. The pasta used in this recipe makes it satisfying enough on its own and the vegetables and herbs give plenty of nutrition.

Lasagna has to be one of the best crockpot recipes because the pasta comes out tender and the filling ingredients blend well. The overall flavor really is amazing. There are also lots of classic dishes you can make, such as crockpot beef stew.
