Jenn – is 5 hours on high really needed for the Veggie Lasagna? It smells delicious but (in the last hour) is also smells a little burnt (the cheese). I know all slow cookers are different. But 5 hours on high seems like a lot?
Becky, as you just stated slow cookers all crock differently, so I would definitely turn it off.
I’m trying this recipe as I leave this comment. The recipe calls for spinach though there is no instruction in the directions on how/when to add it!
Hi Jill you will see it on step #14! Enjoy and Happy Crocking!
Oops! Found it! Sorry!
These lasagna recipes look good but they are so high in sodium I am reluctant to try them. do you have any low sodium lasagna recipes for the crock pot?
Hi Donna, there are ways to reduce the sodium by using home made tomato sauce, or reduced sodium sauce. I do this often with other recipes to reduce the sodium. Hope this helps, and Happy Crocking!
