Notes

For more helpful hints, substitution ideas, slow cooking tips, and other delicious recipe ideas, check out my post above.
CROCKPOT COOKING TIPS: Every slow cooker heats a little differently, so cooking times can vary. Once you know how your crock pot runs (hotter or cooler), you can adjust as needed. 
TIPS: Always start with sauce on the bottom of the crockpot to prevent sticking or burning. Make sure every noodle is fully covered with sauce so it cooks evenly. Thawed chicken works best to avoid excess moisture and uneven cooking.
VARIATIONS: For creamier lasagna use cottage cheese. Use mild buffalo sauce for a kid-friendly version or medium for more heat. Add cooked bacon crumbles between layers.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Garnish with sliced green onions or parsley, chopped celery, blue cheese crumbles, or a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing. Serve with a crisp green salad, celery sticks, or steamed vegetables to balance the richness. Leftovers reheat well and are great for lunch the next day.
