Own It In The Kitchen With This Easy Crockpot Lasagna

As a single mom who works all day, I’m always trying to come up with quick and easy ways to own it in the kitchen and make meals my family loves — without stressing myself out. My mom taught me never to be afraid of experimenting in the kitchen (and to always make enough to set extra plates at a moment’s notice!), so she would love this easy Crockpot Lasagna recipe, made with the help of RAGÚ® sauce.

The best part is, other than browning and seasoning the meat, all the ingredients go directly into the crockpot — even the uncooked noodles. We all know the sauce is the magic of a meal like this, and my slow cooker lasagna was a flavorful success with the help of RAGÚ® Old World Style® Meat Sauce. Using RAGÚ® sauce, feel like a total boss in the kitchen, easily bringing the flavors of vine ripened tomatoes and Italian spices to a family favorite, ensuring we have the same great taste every time we make our version of lasagna. With RAGÚ®, it’s time to Cook Like a Mother, turning Lasagna night into a winner dinner for the entire family.
