I am giving this 3 stars with promise. I intend to add a lot more next time to give this the texture and taste I'd prefer. 1) add chopped onion, chopped red pepper, a bag of fresh spinach, garlic, red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning. 2) add more meat - spicy Italian sausage was great but will go with 2 lbs versus 1. 3)definitely DO NOT use no-boil noodles. They were incredibly soggy. Flavor was great and recipe was easy but the texture of the noodles was like paste.

This was easy and pretty good. Not great, but good.

This was very good!! I sauted 1 onion and 1 green pepper after sausage was crumpled and cooked. I layered like lasagna and was able to use almost whole box of lasagna noodles (used regular noodles - not no-cook ones!) - had maybe 4-5 layers! I put it all together night before, stored in frig and in morning cooked on WARM setting for almost 9 hours because we work. Did not even realize you could cook on warm. Noodles were perfect! Tasted awesome!

I used whole wheat regular noodles and found that I should have used many more of them - 8 hours on warm was definitely enough time to cook them. Also added red peppers and onions. Loved this, and it was pretty easy.

This is an excellent easy recipe although you can't stop eating it, so it has too many calories. So I made a few changes. OK, a lot of changes but it's still the same basic recipe. First things first, this can be a big mess to clean up, so I like to use slow cooker liners. You just throw it away when done. I use a third to half sausage and the rest a leaner ground beef. I first cook the meats, then set aside. Using the fat from the meats, cook a diced medium onion. When the onion has been going a couple minutes, I add about a half pound of mushrooms (I use cremini and button about 50-50) sliced medium thick so that they don't just disintegrate. Turn it off, then add the meat back into the pan along with a bag of raw spinich (it will cook in the pot). I use a jar of pasta sauce and a can of good tomatoes in juice, either diced or whole which I chop inside the can myself. I have found that Prego heart healthy sauce works fine and has less salt. I also add fresh or jarred garlic and italian seasoning to the sauce. I use a bit of water to rinse out the tomato and sauce jars/cans. It can use a bit more water anyway. Mix about half of the mozzarella (part-skim) with the ricotta and the rest on the top. probably use a bit extra and also add some shredded parmesan on top. As for cooking time, it took me about 4 to 5 hours. My family rated this 5 stars but originally it's a bit plain.

This came out great!! Love how easy it is to prepare!!

Good recipe. I took the advice of a previous review and layered the different items, then poured an additional jar of sauce over the top. In reference to the noodles being soggy, it all comes to preference of how much "bite" your noodles have at the end of cooking. I suspect that the use of "cooking required" noodles would leave more of a bite. Also, 4 hours on low is the max on cooking time. I had to only give 4 stars though because it does require a few changes to the recipe.

Really need to watch the time on this one. The noodles can burn on edges. I had to add extra sauce and seasonings. Otherwise, a good slow recipe that I would use again

It doesn't get much easier than this. Definitely make sure to choose a high quality pasta sauce for good flavor. Depending on how much you like cheese, you might want to up the ricotta portion; we used about 20oz total. Also chose spicy ground sausage. Very tasty.

Very good! My 2 yr old twins loved it. This is what I did/used: 1 lb ground beef (seasoned with 1/2 tsp fresh basil and some fresh garlic, salt/pepper). Drained fat. Mixed in bowl about 3 cups mozarella cheese, 18 oz ricotta cheese, 2 whole eggs, and about 1/2 cup of parmesean. Put in slow cooker in layers. Sauce first, then 1/3 of meat w/little sauce on top. Broke up into large pieces oven-ready (no-boil) lasanga pieces and layed some on top. Covered with 1/2 of cheese mixture, then sauce with 1/3 of meat and rest of cheese mixture, more layerd lasagna pieces, more sauce and rest of meat. Covered with mozerrella cheese 1/2 hr before serving. I used 2 jars of Prego Oregano and Basil sauce. Cooked for 3 hours on low. Noodles not mushy (used Safeway brand). It was very good and very easy! I would add bell pepper, onion and mushrooms if my family would eat it, but they won't so add that if you like more stuff in it. :o)
