All of the other veggies do you grate them or dice them. Especially the zucchini as it is watery .
This was delicious. It needed salt maybe cause I didn’t use chilli powder but it was such a hearty and satisfying lasagne that can feed a large family. I did brown up the cheese under the grill just for presentation but it’s the only lasagne I’ll be making now
Love d loved loved this recipe. I did put the chili powder on and it didn’t make it too hot at all (was worried about the kids) and agree it could probably use some salt too. The only thing I changed was adding a towel under the lid about half way through to help it to brown up…it did nicely. Will definitely be making this again!
First lasagna I have made and it was absolutely delicious!!! Agree that it lacked salt but just served with salt and pepper before eating. Can’t wait to get stuck into the left overs!!
Love this recipe! Love that it has so many veggies. Have done it several times now. I omit the capsicum and use extra of all other veg. I also use passata instead of sauce, and make my own bechamel (white sauce) from scratch. Note: do not use fresh lasagne sheets as it turns to mush being cooked too long, learnt the hard way haha
I had my doubts about cooking lasagne in slow cooker but it worked well and tasted lovely.
The flexibility of being able to make it earlier is so good.
I used my Breville Sear and slow cook so it truly was a 1 dish meal.
Makes enough to feed a bigger family .
Loved this recipe! I did tweak it a little, using 1 Tbsp (rather than 1 tsp) of garlic for extra flavour. I made my own cheese sauce in the Thermomix, and used probably twice the quantity of a jar sauce … which was most likely partly the cause of my lasagna being a little “liquidy” at the end. Will try tea towel trick next time. I was a bit sceptical about the lasagna sheets softening nicely (and not being too mushy), but the texture was perfect.
Thanks Melissa for this great recipe. It made 7 generous serves, and I will be adding it to my regular rotation of slow cooker meals!
Hi. I’m thinking that surely this has more vegies than what it says., eg 1/4 cup cauliflower seems like not much?
You could always try to increase the veg but I assume the balance is already made just right for the meat mix with the existing 8 vegetables already included totally 2-3 cups in total 🙂
Big hit with the whole family, miss 2 loved it!
Could use more cheese sauce though
Cooked this tonight. Easy, tasty and goes a long way. Thanks for the recipe. Will definitely do this again ?
