Slow-Cooker Sausage Lasagna image

On especially cold winter days, my family loves this with mild Italian sausage. I agree about the cold days, but I prefer a spicy sausage blend, which gives it a bit of a zing. -Cindi DeClue, Anchorage, Alaska

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lasagna was a disaster. It was too dry and the cheese didn't melt.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lasagna didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The noodles were a little too soft.
