Crockpot Lasagna is a Sunday favorite for our family. I like to serve with Garlic Breadsticks and a huge tossed salad. This is always a crowd pleaser for my boys. I hope you enjoy this one as much as we do! Best of all this is a great vegetarian recipe. I love to cook meatless several times a week because it is a great money saver and pasta is a great way to do that! Of course you are always welcome to add meat the the recipe too! If you are going to do that I suggest that you brown the meat with the onion and continue on with the recipe.
If preparing as a freezer meal - simply place all ingredients into a freezer safe bag except for your tomato sauce and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Freeze. When ready to cook thaw in the refrigerator overnight and place into the slow cooker. Add sauce and reserve cheese until the last 10 minutes.
