I've made lasagna in the crockpot for the shearers, I cooked it in the oven though. I wasn't going to be around to feed them, so the lasagna came out of the fridge and sat in the crockpot on low heat until lunchtime. (easier for hubby then!)

Turn the slow cooker on to HIGH to preheat and coat the bowl with non stick spray. Put the garlic, tomato puree, tomato paste, herbs, beef stock and tomato soup pkt and mince into a bowl and combine well together.Adding the hot water last before mixing.
Spread one third of the meat mixture evenly over the bottom of the slow cooker bowl.Place half the lasagna noodles over the meat. (the recipe doesn’t say so but I put a small amount of grated cheese over the noodles) and then add another layer of 1/3 meat mixture, the remaining pasta (another sprinkling of cheese) and then cover with remaining 1/3 meat mixture. (You may like to keep a bit more than a third of the meat mixture for the top layer)
To make the topping, mix together the cornflour, egg, milk (and/or sour cream) and cheese.Pour this over everything in the slow cooker and sprinkle with paprika (if using)
Turn the slow cooker to LOW and cook for 8-9 hours.

Our family always enjoys this recipe.So easy to make and reheats well by putting crockpot on warm if taken anywhere.Nice and moist, not dry.

Yes the pasta goes in uncooked.They are the packets of lasagne pieces, not sheets.

The Alison Holst Book: 100 Ways to Use Slow Cookers and Crockpots is a great book with everyday meals for the family.Could be worth a look.

I use this book twice a week and its great The red one, not the green one. Then, using a pencil in my book I write whether the recipe was OK, Good, excellent or not keen. or any comments such as, use a bit less red curry paste.
