You will need a 6 qt slow cooker to make this recipe. You can use a casserole crock pot to make this recipe, however, I prefer to use my rectangular Cuisinart or Ninja because I feel like my casserole crock pot sometimes traps too much liquid and the recipe just seems to set up better in my Cuisinart/Ninja.
The Ninja and Casserole Crock Pot have an advantage for those folks that like their cheese to have a nice golden browned cheese on top of their lasagna. You can take either of these slow cooker inserts and throw in the oven/broiler for a few minutes to brown up your cheese. The Cuisinart has plastic handles, so I don’t put it in the oven.
You can serve this lasagna about 15- 30 minutes after slow cooking. However, my favorite way is to cook it the day before and cut my pieces cold and reheat to eat. It is so much better the next day and it sets up into a really nice lasagna stack.

All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
