I made this yesterday and followed the recipe exactly as written and it turned out delicious. I boiled my noodles first and then added them to the slow cooker. When serving i topped each bowl with ricotta cheese and some mozzarella cheese. We had this with some garlic bread and oh how delicious. This is so easy to put together when you have a taste for lasagna but don’t have time to make and bake lasagna in the oven.

In reply to Andee. Hi Andee! I have never tried using the oven-ready noodles so I' not sure how they would turn out. Also, when cooking the lasagna noodles you'll want to cook them on low heat. I updated the recipe card with that info. :)

Hi Holly,
I actually have another question. At the end of the recipe, when you put the noodles in the crockpot and you cook for an additional 30-40 minutes – do you put the crockpot on low Or on High for those 30-40 minutes? I intend to cook the soup on low 6-8 hours but wasn’t sure if when i put the lasagna noodles in if I should put it on high, or if it is ok to keep it on low.

Thank you!
Andee

Thank you very much for your reply and the additional assistance. I can’t wait to make this…one last question, can I use oven ready noodles? Or do they have to be old fashioned lasagna noodles that you boil first.

Thanks so much!

If I left out the noodles, could I freeze this? Has anyone tried making with cheese ravioli rather than lasagna noodles?

Andee, that is a really great point. Thank you for bringing that to my attention! 🙂
I definitely would not add the pasta in the beginning with the other ingredients. You add them towards the end, and let them cook with everything else for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until they are tender. OR you can cook them on the stove-top separately. I have tried both ways and both work great. I am going to update the recipe card now! 🙂

Looking forward to making this dish, but wondering if you can cook the pasta noodles in the crockpot. The instructions at the time of putting the ingredients into the crockpot say: “Place beef and onions in a greased 6-quart slow cooker. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir.”

I would have put the pasta in at that point because of how that is written. it is not until you read beyond that step, that you see you have to cook the pasta outside of the crockpot. Just not sure if pasta would get too soft or at what point you would add the pasta to the crockpot. Have you tried to cook it like that?
