This traditional favorite is made super easy in a slow cooker. The finished dish even cuts well to make nice individual servings. You may need to break the lasagna noodles so they fit into the slow cooker crock.—Rebecca Goodwin, Bowling Green, Kentucky

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 jar (24 ounces) herb and garlic pasta sauce
4 cups (16 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 carton (15 ounces) ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 no-cook lasagna noodles

Directions

In a large skillet, cook the beef, green pepper and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in pasta sauce; heat through. In a large bowl, combine the mozzarella and ricotta cheeses, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

I made this for supper a couple of months ago and was pleasantly surprised. So, I might add, was my husband who is a picky eater.He would have gone back for thirds, but I said he'd had enough (he's diabetic so have to watch his intake on carbs, etc). As to whether I'll make it again....I'm doing so this weekend, and it is in all of my recipe boxes!

Did not like this at all. Dry and not flavorful. Maybe because I used a larger crock pot? I cooked it for only 4 hours and did everything else the recipe said. Will not make again. Like the oven version better! Sorry!

I have to say I was a bit wary of this recipe but it came out excellent. It is hard to please my picky eaters but this did the trick.

I modified a bit... I used Aldi's frozen Italian meatballs (thawed, warmed & cut up)... It was wonderful... My husband said it was the best Lasagna he had ever had...

This was really good and very easy to get together in the morning. Be sure and follow the recipe on the time it takes to cook. We got home later than expected and it had burned a little on top on one side. Even with that we enjoyed the recipe. This one will be added to my recipe box.

while I have never made this recipe in particular, I have made crockpot lasagna similar to this one. anyone who knows no cook lasagna noodles knows that they are wider than normal noodles, and therefore you need less...although I usually use 12-15 regular noodles....so calling the recipe or person who wrote the recipe stupid is really counterproductive...like mother said, if you have nothing nice to say...well, you know the rest....

I used this recipe or one very similar published in T of H about a year ago when cooking for my wife for a training session for quilters (yes, they were all ladies). I basically doubled this recipe and used a large oval cooker. Made a few changes in terms of meat and cheeses but it worked well and all of the ladies felt it was quite good. Would definitely use this again.

I used a half of box of the noodles and broke them up in pieces when they are cooked who will know the difference. It was easy and really good.. I also put cottage cheese in with the ricotta. It was creamy that way...
