Recipe Tips

  • The noodles obviously don’t fit well in an oval slow cooker. You will need to break them and overlap them some.
  • If you don’t want this lasagna to be spicy, use regular Italian sausage.
  • Two pounds of ground beef can be used instead of sausage.
  • To make this lasagna spicier, add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
