Crock Pot Lasagna image

Crock Pot Lasagna is one of my family's favorite meals. Layering the lasagna in the crock pot takes less than ten minutes and the ground Italian sausage with onions and garlic can be browned ahead of time and stored in the fridge. This meal is perfect anytime of the year and is always a hit with the kids.
