If so, how long do you leave it in there for? Low heat? High heat?!
-
I have before when making casserole type dishes. I think 3 on high or 5-6 on low would do it.
-
I make lasagna in the crock pot! 8 hours on low.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I didnt know this was a thing!!!! I'm pretty sure you just changed my life!
-
@littlejoy: oh my gosh, it is so easy. put your sauce at the bottom of the crock pot (just enough to cover the bottom), then your regular lasagna noodles (not the no boil kind), then your ricotta and whatever else and just keep layering. Cook on low for 8 hours. It is perfection and so much easier!
(My crock pot is round so I had to break up the noodles into pieces.)
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: Thanks so much!!!!
-
I once made a soup with frozen tortellini in it and turned to absolute MUSH and was revolting. So now i'm scarred
-
I made crockpot lasagna and it was mushy - will never put noodles in the crockpot again
-
I have only done the lasagne, it turned out okay, I think I didn't have enough liquid in the sauce.
-
i have only tried lasagna and it works well!
-
Lasagna in the crock pot is delicious. @Rainbow Sprinkles: pretty much just gave my recipe although I do eggs and sour cream for the ricotta layer (it's better than it sounds
)
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: welp. you've changed my life, I think.
-
@coopsmama: It doesn't sound bad. We don't eat either anymore, but I used to do ricotta + eggs AND sour cream, because it was amazing.
-
@littlejoy: Oooh good, glad I'm not the only one who thinks that way is tasty!
You no longer eat eggs and dairy? Are you vegan?
-
I usually like to make chicken noodle soup in my crockpot but I make the noodles separate and add them to the soup as portions are dished out. I don't like overcooked noodles in my soup, so that why I don't throw it in the crockpot. I think I've seen soup recipes that tell you to put the noodles in the last 15-30 of cooking.
@Rainbow Sprinkles: I think I'll have to try that crockpot Lasagna. Awesome!
-
@coopsmama: Yep. So now, instead of ricotta, I make a version with cashews (the blender breaks them down into a ricotta texture) ... I use apple cider vinegar to give it that tartness of sour cream. Add a flax egg for binding, and s&p and spices. It's really good. It's really labor intensive though (lasagna, in general), but I am really excited to try it in the crock pot!
-
@Mamaof2: I wonder why?!?!? The lasagna I made tasted like it was made in the oven! I used my own recipe, but I followed the Crockin' Girls method.
@.twist.: yes, it is wonderful. Look up Crockin' Girls lasagna!
-
@littlejoy: I've done a similar thing before with cashews but not flax seed since I'm not opposed to eggs - I will have to give that a try! Thanks for the tip.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: Thanks! I totally will.
