How to Make Slow Coker Lasagna

Step 1:

Place a large skillet over heat and add the meat with the onion. Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder. Cook until browned. No need to drain the meat unless you use a very fatty beef.

Step 4:

Separate the lasagna noodles into 4 piles.

Spray your slow cooker with nonstick spray. Start by adding 1.5 cups of the meat sauce mixture for the bottom layer, followed by 4 to 5 lasagna noodles. You can break them and stack them together.

Next, add 1.5 cups of meat sauce, 1/3 of the cheese mixture, then layer 4 to 5 lasagna noodles. Repeat these 3 layers two more times.

Add the remaining meat sauce, then top with 2 cups of mozzarella cheese.

Step 6:
