I adapted this crockpot lasagna recipe from my Classic Italian Lasagna recipe (click the link for the recipe) which been in my family for generations. I make this crockpot lasagna for potlucks and weeknights. By the way, this makes a great school or work night dinner too!
I love that I can make this recipe in the crockpot insert it the night before a stick it in the fridge. Then the next morning before I leave for work I and pop it right into my crockpot on low. Don’t forget to use the Crockpot insert liners that make cleaning up your crockpot so easy, I love those things!

Crockpot Lasagna Instructions:
- Put the uncooked meat in a large pot to cook, when finished drain any grease from the pot.
- Place the meat back in the pot and add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic, basil, oregano, and parsley.
- Cook until the sauce mixture is bubbly.
- The mixture needs to be runny because the noodles will absorb the liquid when they cook. If there is no moisture for the noodles to absorb the lasagna will burn.
- In a large bowl mix the egg, 2 cups mozzarella, and ricotta or cottage cheese.
- Put the crockpot liner bag in your crockpot for easy clean up later.
Crockpot Lasagna Layers:
- Sauce mix, noodles (you will have to break the noodles to make them fit and to prevent large pieces of noodles from curling up), cheese mix, and repeat.
- Each layer of cheese mix should be a sprinkling of shredded mozzarella, a few scoops of cheese mixture thrown on randomly, and shake some Parmesan cheese.
Top Lasagna Layer:
- Lasagna noodles and sauce mix.
- Cook on high for 2 hours or 6 hours on low.
- 15 minutes before serving top with cheese.
