WHOLE WHEAT CROCK POT LASAGNA FOR 2



Whole Wheat Crock Pot Lasagna for 2 image

This recipe is based on Derf's recipe #21706 Crock pot Lasagna however, I made so many changes that I felt this constituted a new recipe but Derf gets full credit for inspiring me and I did not make the changes because I didn't like the look of hers it just came down to what's in the cupboard and it worked. Make this as spicy or as bland as you like. The whole wheat noodles are wonderful

BUSY MOM LASAGNA FOR THE CROCK POT



Busy Mom Lasagna for the Crock Pot image

This is an easy crock pot lasagna. Kids really like it. I usually double the spaghetti sauce so it is a lot moister. This makes a lot, so I usually freeze some of it.

WHOLE WHEAT LASAGNA



Whole Wheat Lasagna image

I found this recipe on the back of the whole wheat lasagna box. I modified the recipe to my tastes. There are other recipes on the zaar that are more fancier and more complicated. This is real simple and still tastes delicious. One day when I have the time I am going to try some of those highly rated lasagna recipes on the zaar.

AUTHENTIC ITALIAN CROCK POT LASAGNA



Authentic Italian Crock Pot Lasagna image

This is the traditional lasagna recipe my Italian grandmother handed down. I adapted it for a 6-quart crock pot. Can be assembled the same way and baked in a 350 degree oven for one hour. ** 7/07 Note: Thanks to dmac, I wanted to add that I also at times make this sauce using sausage taken out of the casing. Brown after the ground beef, reserving with drippings. Add to the sauce at the same time with ground beef.** *** 1/1/08 Additional notes: Can also add another layer of 1.5 pounds of browned ground beef (seasoned with salt and black pepper to taste), Italian sausage, or a combination. The additional layer will make the lasagna come to the top of a 6-qt. crockpot, but I did not have any problems with overflow. Cook for a total of 6 hours on low. I have also used this recipe in a 12-qt. roaster oven using the bake feature, increasing all of the ingredients proportionately (using 2 eggs) to feed a larger crowd. If increasing the amount of sauce you make, use 2 cans of paste for every 2 cans of tomatoes and increase all other ingredients proportionately. I cook this on 350 degrees for one hour with the mozzarella slices on it from the beginning, just as I would if in a conventional oven. I have also assembled this a day ahead of time and put in the refrigerator until ready to cook the next day.***
