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.

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

What do you believe about God?

“Everyone’s a theologian.” -R.C. Sproul Why though? Because everyone believes *something* about God. Your view of everything in life is formed by how you view God. If He’s Santa Clause to you, then you may find lots of disappointment in life when things don’t go your way. If He’s a strict Father, then you may find yourself walking on eggshells trying not to make Him angry. If He’s a permissive big brother, then you may find yourself following your fleshy desires and apologizing for them later. You may not be persuaded to believe there’s a God. But He doesn’t need you to believe He exists in order to exist. Yet still a belief about God - that He’s nonexistent. What we need to know (not everything we want to know) is written in the Bible. It will come to a shock to some, but the Bible is not a book about us. It’s a book about God. I’ve experienced so many of His attributes in my own life - patience, kindness, justice, mercy, faithfulness - but wouldn’t be able to identify them unless I
