Pull out your slow cooker and get ready to whip up cheesy, delicious comfort food for your family this week. We’re making lasagna, simplifying the prep and making it doable for a weeknight dinner. If you haven’t used your slow cooker much, you’ll want to be sure that you’re filling it between half and two-thirds full for correct cooking and food safety. It’s also important to cook any ground meats (beef, sausage, chicken, etc.) prior to adding them to the cooker. And no matter how yummy and delicious the aroma is, don’t lift the lid during cooking! It adds between 15-20 minutes to your cooking time each time you do.
