Lasagna will always be a favorite meal in my house. My kids ask me to make lasagna at least once a week, and while I love the dish, it just takes so much time. I mean, by the time I get home and get dinner started, there just isn’t really time for something that has to cook for so long.
So, you can imagine how thrilled I was to find this amazing slow cooker lasagna recipe. It has the same traditional flavor, but it only takes a few minutes to get ready.
So, you make this in the slow cooker. You only need about 15 minutes to prep everything, and then it cooks in the slow cooker for about four or five hours. Instead of beef, this one has chicken, so not only is it easier to cook, but it’s also a lot healthier than traditional lasagna.
Since it’s so easy to make, you can add this to your menu and serve it every week. My family is thrilled that I found a lasagna recipe that I can actually make through the week. And I served this blueberry pie for dessert, and the entire meal was a huge hit.
Lasagna is and will always be a favorite for my kids, and I am so glad that I found this recipe to be a fast and easy one. You could have this cooking all afternoon while you run errands and do other things.
Then, when you get home, you have a wholesome hot dinner on the table. Honestly, it just doesn’t get any better than this! And you can take that extra time and bake up a loaf of this delicious lemon-glazed zucchini bread for dessert.
