Convenient no-cook lasagna noodles take the work out of this traditional favorite adapted for the slow cooker. Because it's so easy to assemble, it's great for workdays as well as weekends. We like it accompanied by Parmesan bread or garlic cheese toast. —Lisa Micheletti Collierville, Tennessee

I made this for the first time today and it will definitely be part of our rotation. I used 1 1/2 jars of Prego pasta sauce with mushrooms, and did half hamburger and half sausage, and tripled the garlic. I omitted the parm. cheese and used ricotta instead of cottage cheese as i didn't have any and only used 1/2 cup water and no bake noodles. I found that 3 1/2 hours on low was the perfect time...they were a little overdone at 4 hours. Next time I will use more spice and maybe spicy sausage, also i think this would be good with some mushrooms.

This is great! I made it for Sunday dinner and my daughter has been requesting it constantly. I'm making it again tomorrow. It cooks while I pack for the move. The recipe is definitely going to the new house!

I have made this 5 times and changed the meat each time. I even used canned Spagetti Sauce once and it turned out great. My family loves it

I've never been able to master making lasagne. I've made this several times, and it turns out great everytime. It's so much quicker and easier than the traditional method.

I was worried about the cottage cheese (as I am not usually a big fan...) but, I followed directions exactly as written (including the cottage cheese) and it turned out perfectly! My husband says its the best lasagna he has ever had! It was very easy to make. Definitely a recipe to keep!

This was better than I had expected. It turned out great even with all the broken noodles I pieced together. It's just as good as oven cooked lasagna, if not better. I will definitely use this recipe a lot in the summer when I don't want to warm the house using the oven. Keeper!
