How to Make Noodle Free Lasagna in a Slow Cooker

Cris here.

This is by far one of my favorite recipes. As a long time lasagna lover, I have a few low carb lasagna alternatives that I enjoy like our Crock Pot Lasagna Casserole. However, this Crock Pot Meatsagna (Noodle-Free Lasagna) comes as close to the real deal as I have ever made. I absolutely LOVE the flavor and my whole family devours it. This is one of those recipes I cannot WAIT for readers to try it is so good.

Can I use the Casserole Crock for this Recipe?

We have tested this recipe in a 6 quart slow cooker and also the casserole crock. While you can use either, we prefer the results in the 6 quart slow cooker. The edges tend to crisp up better and the meat layer retains its shape better. However, we did find that cutting portions in the casserole crock was easier. Like most things, it is up to you and your preferences.

Crock Pot Meatsagna Notes

  • Much like regular lasagna, this dish tastes wonderful right after cooking but holds its shape better if allowed to cool for a bit. Leftovers are even better because the flavors set up overnight and the dish keeps its shape better after cooling.
  • We use regular ground breakfast sausage in this recipe, however you can use ground Italian sausage if you prefer.
  • Pork Rinds might sound like a weird ingredient, but trust us, they are just perfect for this recipe!
  • You could substitute cottage cheese for the ricotta cheese if you do not like ricotta.
  • We have tested this recipe in a 6 quart slow cooker and also the casserole crock. While you can use either, we prefer the results in the 6 quart slow cooker.
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
