My Delightful Journal

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!

We use our fabulous  6 quart Kitchen Aid Mixer  to knead everything together!  PRO TIP (😂😂Nah, just something he figured out) Use a pizza cutter to slice your dough into sixteen equal portions.  Sprinkle a little flour on these babies before you cook them
