Slower Cooker Lasagna Recipe

I've been making slow cooker lasagna since we've been married. In fact, I think this may have been the first meal I cooked my in laws. It's a great recipe if you have a large family (*define large here*) or you're having guests over.

I'm always impressed with slow cooker recipes because I can dump it all in sometime in the morning, and dinner is prepared in the evening when I don't feel like cooking. :)

I've tried several slow cooker lasagna recipes, and I've used different aspects of each over the years to create my own.

This is a husband and kid pleaser in our home!

Recipe

1 lb. ground sausage* (We prefer sweet but hot would work too.)
1 onion, chopped
Clove of garlic
2 jars pasta sauce
24 oz of ricotta
16 oz of shredded mozzarella cheese
8 oz shredded parmesan cheese
16 oz oven ready lasagna noodles

*You can certainly use ground beef as well. Be sure to generously season it with Italian seasoning and spices.

Brown your ground beef in pan on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until onions are soft and translucent.

Pour in both jars of pasta sauce into the pan and heat through, just until it starts to simmer.

Make the cheese mixture by mixing together 24oz ricotta cheese, 8 oz of mozzarella, and parmesan cheese.

Spray your slow cooker with cooking spray. Begin to layer in this order: sauce then noodles on top, then cheese mixture. You will need to break apart the lasagna noodles to put a full layer over the sauce mixture. There should be three layers, so use 1/3 each mixture/noodles every layer.

Once your layering is done, sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese at the top.

Cook on low for 6 hours.

Pair this with some garlic bread and salad, and you're all set!

Happy cooking!

Do you feel drained after Sunday?

This should be talked about. Based on a recent Instagram poll I did, I think it’s safe to assume that many moms heading to church feel drained after a busy Sunday morning. Or maybe some even pass on church regularity because it’s been too overwhelming. Most of these tired moms probably have little ones, but I really don’t think the age of kids matters. Whether it’s a two year old running around or a fourteen year old who’s embarrassed by you, parenting can be physically and mentally exhausting. I think I could easily insert the importance of nursery, giving moms a break, and volunteering in children’s ministry. I could probably stop there and call it good, get some likes, and chalk it up to a nice Facebook post. However, I find it deeper than that. We feel pressure to give our kids the perfect Sunday outfits, expect them to sit still (dreading inside because we know they won’t), and smile on the outside like the Holy Spirit has worked and we don’t even know the...

Book Review: The Diary of Jasmine Grace

This post contains affiliate links, in which I earn a small commission at no cost to you. So thank you for reading & shopping! Human trafficking is not a problem "somewhere else." It's happening right where you are. You might see someone who is trafficked when you head to the grocery store or go to a local baseball game and never realize it. Jasmine Grace found herself in desperate need for love and acceptance. She thought she found that through her "boyfriend," who ended up selling her for money. After years of prostituting herself, she covered the pain she never realized she had with drug abuse. Thankfully, like many human trafficked victims, her story doesn't end with a gun shot or a drug overdose. Her story still continues in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. She recollects her different diary entries during her trafficking years from a fresh perspective as now a believer. She spends her life helping other women who are in the same situation. I ...

The "Add Friend" Default

How many friends do you have on Facebook? How many groups are you in? How many times does someone's profile pop up to click "Add Friend" with 1 or 2 mutual friends and you think, "Should I know them?"? Mark Zuckerberg would not agree with me; but your 400, 800, or 1,700 friends on Facebook are not all your real friends. You may be very careful with whom you allow to view your life for safety or privacy purposes. But still, it's seemingly impossible to have that many friends. They may be family members, acquaintances, old school mates. They're not the people who know you inside and outside. They don't all "have your back." And, most importantly, not all of them will give you Biblical truth and spiritual edification. But do we often run to these online companions for comfort, reassurance, advice, and hope? Does the loose social media term "friend" really mean what it says? A few questions I have to ask myself... When I'm face...
