Description
Crockpot Lasagna is layers of meat sauce, ricotta mixture, lasagna noodles, and cheese. One of my all-time favorite crockpot pasta recipes.

- Fourth Layer: Now a layer of meat sauce.

- Cook: Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
- Finish: When you have 1 hour left add mozzarella to the top.
Notes
If you prefer to use the No-Boil pasta that is fine also with the same cooking time. I don’t like to use non cooked pasta in mine it makes the lasagna watery. I prefer to cook my pasta ahead of time.
