Editorial Guidelines Updated on January 16, 2024 Rate PRINT Share Prep Time: 25 mins Total Time: 25 mins Servings: 8 Our slow-cooker lasagna is a comforting dinner to come home to—or to leave to slow cook for four to six hours while you're at home. The meat sauce is a delicious combination of ground sirloin and Italian sausage, the sausage brings fat and seasoned flavors to the beef, so making the sauce is a snap. You will need to sauté the sauce on the stovetop before you assemble the lasagna in the slow cooker. But there's no need to buy no-boil noodles or to cook the lasagna sheets before assembling, they cook as the lasagna cooks—that's just part of the magic of slow-cooker lasagna. 28 Slow Cooker Recipes You'll Want to Make All Year Long Ingredients 1 pound Italian pork sausage, casings removed 1 pound ground beef sirloin 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 medium carrots, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes in puree 9 lasagna noodles 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella (8 ounces) Directions Saute meats: In a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot, cook sausage and beef over medium-high, breaking up meat with a spoon, until no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Add vegetables and garlic: Add onion, carrots, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook until onion has softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, then tomatoes: Stir in tomato paste, then tomatoes; bring to a boil, and remove from heat. Assemble lasagna: Spoon 2 cups meat mixture into bottom of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Layer 3 noodles (breaking them as needed to fit), 2 cups meat mixture, and 1/2 cup cheese; repeat with two more layers (refrigerate 1/2 cup cheese for topping). To fit lasagna noodles into a round slow cooker, break off corners as needed. You don't have to precook the noodles. When the lasagna's done, they'll be ready, too. Cook lasagna: Cover slow cooker, and cook on low, 4 to 6 hours. Add reserved cheese: Sprinkle lasagna with 1/2 cup cheese. Cover until cheese has melted, about 10 minutes.
