Slow-Cooker Lasagna - REAL easy and Delicious!

As a working woman - I am always looking for something that I can make in advance so I am not fussing when I get back from my long days! This was an awesome recipe and it took me 15 minutes to put it together before I left for work the other day. I used my slow cooker pot - which I purchased last year in Cosco for $40.00.  I love this slow cooker and use it alot in fall and winter.  Here is the recipe - I will warn you - it definitely has lots of calories - you can probably cut down on the calories by using low fat or no fat cheeses.  I work out for 1-2 hours five nights per week - so I eat what I want!! Thats why I endure the torture at the gym :) Actually I love Equinox - it has changed my life and the way I feel!

1 small container of ricotta cheese
3/4 cup of parmesan cheese
3 cups of Marinara sauce
1 package of regular (no boil) Lasagna noodles in box
2 cups of grated mozzerella cheese
salt and pepper
1 small package of chicken saugage (take out of casing) could use any type of saugage if you want

put a layer of the marinara sauce on the bottom of your slow-cooker
then a layer of lasagna noodles - I broke them up to fit the shape of the slow cooker
then a layer of ricotta, parmesan and mozzerella cheese
a layer of saugage out of casing broken up into small pieces
sprinkle of salt and pepper
then your sauce
then your noodles
keep on layering until all noodles, cheeses and saugage are done - finish with top layer of sauce and mozzerella cheese.
Cover and set your slow cooker for 6 hours on low.

Heat a small amount of sauce separately to sprinkle on top if need be when you dish it out.

I served it with a nice salad and fresh hot italian bread on the side!

Wow what a meal and my husband was extremely happy!

Happy Cooking and Keep Smiling in YOUR kitchen!!
