Easy Crockpot Lasagna Recipe

easy crockpot lasagna recipe

This easy Crockpot Lasagna Recipe is one of our favorite recipes that we like to add to our monthly menu planning meal rotation.

There are two things that make life a whole lot easier when you have a busy, active family.  1. Using a crockpot and 2. Creating freezer meals.  I absolutely love having meals prepped ahead of time that I can simply add to my menu planning each week. 

I often do all of my freezer meal preparation in one “batch” like in this Meal Planning post that I shared a few years ago.  I have a number of delicious recipes that I like to include in meal planning like these 12 Crockpot Freezer Meals.  I use a large 7 Quart Slow Cooker to cook all of my freezer meals in.  I love this size because it has lots of room for larger recipes that serve 6-8 but I can still use it for smaller recipes that only have 4 servings.

Tips for making Crockpot Freezer Meals:

  • Use 1 gallon, large freezer bags.  Label bags with the date, recipe and cooking instructions.
  • Lay ingredients flat in the bag for easier storage in the freezer.
  • This 7-Quart Oval Crockpot is the only one that I use and has lasted for over ten years!
  • Defrost meals in the refrigerator or place frozen into the crockpot.  If the meal is defrosted, reduce the cooking time accordingly (subtract two hours for most crockpot meals).
  • Crockpot meals can easily be converted to Instant Pot recipes using this handy guide from Taste of Home – How to Convert Slow Cooker Recipes for the Instant Pot.
  • Store meals for up to three months in the freezer.
