Notes

There is a tip I would suggest when making this lasagna. I have had several slow cookers through the years, and they all seem to have a "hot spot" where the food cooks faster and can burn. This tends to happen with dense dishes, like this lasagna or other casserole type dishes. It's not the end of the world if this happens, but it can be prevented. I learned this trick from Karen at 365 Days of Slow Cooking:
  • Layer and fold sheets of heavy-duty foil until you have a six-layer foil rectangle.
  • Press the rectangle into the "hot spot" side of the slow cooker insert. The food will help hold the foil in place during cooking.
