Croc Pot Lasagna

Croc Pot Lasagna has instantly become a favorite in our house!

I owe all the credit to our good friend and neighbor, Emily Miner. My wife was out of town, and Emily and her husband invited me over for Sunday dinner.  When they told me we would be having Lasagna, I got excited.  I have always been a fan of Lasagna, but have been too afraid to make it. It always seemed like it took too long to make.

Dinner time finally arrived, and I made my way over to the Miner home.  When I walked through the front door, I was met with the most delicious smell.  When I found out she made the Lasagna in the Croc-Pot, I was shocked: I had never heard of such a thing.  Emily explained how easy it was, and I was hooked!

Emily wasn't kidding, this recipe is EASY!  Your family and friends will think you have been slaving in the kitchen all day when they taste the finished product.  I promise it will become an instant favorite with whomever you share it with.

Emily, THANK YOU for sharing your recipe with us!

Croc-Pot Lasagna
Serves 6-8 People

1 Package Oven Ready Noodles (Barilla Brand)

1 Jar Favorite Alfredo Pasta Sauce

1 26-28oz Jar Favorite Red Pasta Sauce

1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese

1. Spray Crock Pot with Pam. Make sure to coat the whole thing evenly.

2. Put 3/4 Cup Red Pasta Sauce in Croc-Pot

3. Put in 3 Oven Ready Noodles. You may have to break them, just arrange them so they make a full layer over the sauce.

4. Put in 1/3 Cup Alfredo Sauce. Make sure to evenly spread over noodles, making a nice thick layer.

5. Brown 1 lb Hamburger and drain grease. Mix with 8oz can Tomato Sauce and rest of Red Pasta Sauce. Let simmer for a couple of minutes to let the flavors cook together.  I like to add Garlic Powder, oregano and Salt & Pepper for flavor.

7. Add 1/3 Cup of Meat mixture. Be sure to make a nice even layer.

Ingredients in Pictures:

You will need a Croc-Pot to make this meal :) Mine is red like the one above

Make sure to buy the "No Boiling, Oven Ready" Barilla Noodles

Make sure to coat the Croc-Pot generously with  "Pam"

"Classico" Brand is by far the best in my opinion 

Once again, "Classico" brand is the way to go

I like to add Salt & Pepper, Garlic Powder & Oregano to add more flavor

"Hunts" brand is the only brand I've used

I find to add lots of cheese - you can NEVER have enough cheese!

Like I said, you can never have enough cheese!

Happy cooking everyone!
