The best cheese soup available is satisfying. Change up the cheese whatever you wish, and add some bacon and parsley for decoration.

I’m not a fan of making lasagna, too much work. But this recipe seemed easy enough so I thought I’d try it since the temp here has been over 100. Yuck! I followed the recipe to a T and cooked it for about 5 hours. Came out dry and burnt around the edges. Won’t make this recipe again :(.
Although I’ve made my own spins on this recipe, for example I use half ground beef and half hot sausage and it takes more like 4 hours as opposed to 6 this is always a crowd pleaser!
Awesome & easy recipe! Love that I could make in crock pot.
Very good, I like it that it is so easy to make. I also added some hot Italian sausage to spice it up a little.
I used Turkey no beef! Did not cook the meat before. Let it just cook all together! Added cottage cheese.
Great recipe base, I did add basil, garlic and onion powder. It cooked for around 10+ hours, we loved it.
I made this as the recipe calls for except I added just a little bit more sauce. This is awesome and very simple.
enjoy rhis receipe, use ground turkey instead, and home made spagetti sauce. Comes out great every time
This turned out amazing.i did use a 16 ounce bag of mozzarella cheese and 2 cups of cottage cheese and the tomato paste but instead of tomato sauce I used marinara sauce it turned out so good I made it for my husband for valentine’s day we celebrated early because he will be away for a month driving tractor trailer he loved it and said I need to make it this way from now on It took about 5 hours to make but my slow cooker is weird shaped and old . Check it after 3 hours on low to see if your slow cooker is faster than mine I suggest everyone try making this even the ones just starting out cooking it’s so easy my 6 year old could make it he loves to cook next time I may allow him to help
I made this for dinner tonight, just as shown. It was awesome!!
I made this for a pot luck at work. Everyone said it was awesome.
We really like this recipe – I like to use mafalda noodles (mini lasagna noodles) – not as dense as lasagna noodles and easier to work with. We freeze it in individual portions to reheat for a quick and easy meal – we freeze on a baking sheet – then double wrap with saran wrap – keeps very well in the freezer
I have made this several times and it is very good. Some reviews state it doesn’t have enough sauce but I am wondering if they are putting 12oz of noodles in or using an entire box of lasagna noodles which is 16oz? If you want to use the whole box add some water or more tomato sauce.
Maybe add a little bit of water and sugar to cut down on the tart taste of the tomatoes. I added diced tomatoes to my mix. And I used Ricotta along with the cottage cheese.
I have not made this dish yet, but I do not like make lasagna the traditional way due to due the amount of time it takes to cook the noodles. This crock pot recipe looks simple and if you like just tweak it to contain your traditional ingredients and voila a more simple way to make lasagna. I will be doing this soon and write another review.
The flavor was good, but I think I needed more sauce cooked it for 3 hours on high.
Pretty good. I reduced the salt to 1 tsp based on other reviews, and it was still a little too salty. Next time I might leave it out altogether. I’m not sure that the parmesan adds much – I may leave that out next time too, but I wonder if that’s where some of the saltiness comes from. Cooking it in a crock pot makes any level of neatness impossible when plating, but I and my kids didn’t care. If it was just for me, I’d add some crushed red pepper flakes, but my kids don’t like spicy. Also, I was short on time so I cooked it on high for two hours. It was a little bit burnt on the edges, but only a little, and I didn’t mind the added crunch LOL!
This turned out great, added a 16oz can of crushed tomatoes and some Italian seasoning. Served with warm garlic bread, yummy!
I really don’t get the negative reviews. Too salty? How much did you put in? Not worth the effort? There’s way more effort involved in making it traditionally. I could go on but…I have made this several times and we actually like it better than the traditional oven baked lasagne. Sauce, cheese, and uncooked noodles set on 4 hours and go about your business. Really tasty and a crockpot full is more than enough for 3+ meals for 2 people. I’m actually making it again today. Great recipe. You can tweak if you want but as is there is no beating it.
So easy! I followed the directions exactly and took 4 hrs. Next time I would half the hamburg and do the other half a spicy sausage. For my second helping I melted a slice of American cheese on top- tasted like a cheeseburger casserole!
Easy to make and very delicious will definitely add this to mr recipe box
