Slow Cooker Fully Loaded Lasagna
danicasdaily has cooked this
"I LOVE recipes that use my crockpot because basically all you have to do is put effort together, hit go and then go about your day. When you come home, this deliciousness is just waiting for you to enjoy. I was really excited when they handed out a Weight Watchers Slow Cooker Lasagna in my meeting last week. I modified the recipe bulking it up with veggies and a tad bit more flavor. The result was just short of amazing ~ cheesy layers of protein, pasta and veggies ~ what isn’t to LOVE! I highly recommend it :)" - danicasdaily
