Lazy Man’s Slow Cooker Lasagna

When I make this for me and the hubby, there are usually plenty of leftovers. I try and save it for when we are going to have extra guests, but I can’t always hold off the craving that long. It’s okay though, because the leftovers hold really nicely in the fridge. I have even frozen small containers of this and reheated it later for a quick meal. The noodles are a little soft, but the flavor is still there. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Group Recipes:

I was worried about how this was going to turn out, but it really was fantastic.
