This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I would recommend using less cheese next time.

I made this lasagna in a slow cooker, and it turned out perfectly. It was so easy to just throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook all day. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the ground beef for crumbled tofu. It turned out great! The lasagna was still hearty and flavorful, and the tofu was a good source of protein.
