Italian sausage, cottage cheese, egg, parsley, spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, lasagna noodles, mozzarella and parmesan. Serve with some garlic bread and a salad. Can freeze leftovers for later. We LOVE this lasagna casserole recipe!!! #crockpot #slowcooker #lasagna

Lasagna is a holiday tradition in our family. We would always have lasagna on Christmas Eve so I could eat the leftovers for my Christmas dinner. I wasn’t a big turkey fan, but I LOVED lasagna. I do eat a little turkey now, but we still make Lasagna on Christmas Eve. This year I am changing our traditional recipe up a bit and making it in the slow cooker. Who knew lasagna could taste SO good out of the slow cooker?!?!?!

I love how easy this Slow Cooker Lasagna is to make. No need to boil the lasagna noodles. Just layer them in the slow cooker uncooked. You are going to add a little extra liquid to the sauce and that will cook the noodles for you. How awesome is that???

I took a major shortcut and used a jar of spaghetti sauce in this recipe. I usually make my own sauce for lasagna, but it takes hours to make and I wanted something quick this time. I like Trader Joe’s Roasted Garlic Marinara (green label), I also love Rao’s and La Famiglia DelGrosso pasta sauces.

We all LOVED this Slow Cooker Lasagna. I might have eaten two GIANT pieces! We served this with our favorite Garlic Bread and our Creamy Italiano Salad. Perfecto! I am counting down the days until we make this again!! SO good!
