Crock Pot Lasagna

You already know that the Crock Pot is a staple in my house. We use it at least once a week, if not more often. It is just so much easier to get the ingredients together in the morning and let it cook all day. This recipe for Crock Pot Lasagna is one that I make sure we make once a month. The house smells wonderful by the middle of the day. Add some garlic bread and a salad and you’ve got a meal that the family will love (mine does)!

  14. Add sausage to the meat mixture

We’ve tried this same recipe with Ricotta cheese, but it was way too dry. It definitely comes out much better by using the cottage cheese. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does.
