Slow Cooker – Crock Pot Lasagna Recipe

A recipe made for socializing with family and friends.

Back in the good old days when we were growing up, neighbors and kin dropped by all the time. No invitations needed. My Grandma was famous for always having some kind of food ready to serve. It didn’t matter what time of day it was. As a kid, that was very impressive. It wouldn’t be 10 minutes in to a conversation and she’d start rattling off what was on the stove in the kitchen or what was under a tablecloth on the table. Eat now, eat, were her favorite words and we still joke about them to this day. *in a very loving way* I’d love to bring back the days of drop-ins!

Our families lives in different states, when they visit, it’s a treat. I want to feed them well but not be stuck in the kitchen the whole time they’re here. I’ve come up with a few things to throw in the crock pot just for those occasions. (and even when it’s just me and Mr. Refresh. )

Today I’m sharing a slow cooker – crock pot lasagna recipe for you try!
