No-Mess-Easy-Slow-Cooker-Lasagna.

[Missourian]

INGREDIENTS

• 1 bag frozen pre-cooked meatballs
• 1 (9 ounce) package no-boil lasagna noodles
• 12 ounces ricotta cheese
• 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 2 (26 ounce) jars Prego Mini-Meatball pasta sauce

DIRECTIONS

1. Put frozen meatballs in the fridge the night before to thaw.
2. Cut thawed meatballs in half.
3. Line interior of slow cooker with Reynold's Slow Cooker Bag.
4. Layer beginning with sauce:
   
   • Sauce
   • No-boil noodles (you may need to break noodles to fit or fill voids)
   • Ricotta cheese (thin spread, a little more than filling the noodle ridges)
   • Meatball halves
   • Mozzarella cheese
   [*]Repeat layers ending with mozzarella cheese (I had 4 layers in a 6 qt slow cooker, if you only have a 4 qt or smaller - halve this recipe).
   [*]Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. 5 minutes before serving, top with remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover to melt cheese.

Made this for the first time yesterday and it was excellent...and no mess.

That sounds great! Do you 'open' the bag to line it or do you build the lasagna in the bag?

It's your lucky day...i've got my camera right here.

This is the bag when it comes out of the box:

And here it is lining the slow cooker:

Then build the lasagna right in the bag.

I want to try that as well. I wonder if I can find a liner for my 7 quart slow cooker. If not, I guess I can throw the pot in the dishwasher.
