Below is an easy to make Crock Pot Lasagna. Including prep time, this takes close to seven hours but it's worth every moment of wait time. Your home will be filled with the odoriferous emanations of Italian cooking all day long and the taste is unreal! This is something I have made many times during the day and taken to the firehouse for dinner. The crew loves it and I think you will too!
