Notes
Make sure to spray the bottom and sides of your crockpot before you start layering the lasagna.
Use your choice of ground meat and cheese! It’s delicious no matter what you use, although I’d stay away from cheddar or anything spicy.
Sautéing chopped onions, mushrooms and peppers with the meat is also delicious and adds extra flavor if you have time.
Don’t forget to add the water at the end! It ensures that your lasagna doesn’t burn!
If your crockpot runs hot, this may cook a bit faster. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn or overcook when it starts to get close.
