Slow Cooker Cheesy Beefy Lasagna image

Great recipe that cooks while you are away; your house will smell like you slaved all day! Use regular noodles (not the no-boil noodles). You can brown the meat and onion the night before and assemble in the morning. This recipe was passed onto me by my friend Melissa.
