Recipe Tips

The noodles obviously don’t fit well in an oval slow cooker. You will need to break them and overlap them some.
If you don’t want this lasagna to be spicy, use regular Italian sausage.
Two pounds of ground beef can be used instead of sausage.
To make this lasagna spicier, add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
