The Jovial Brand is the best choice for this recipe if you want the curved shape on the sides to resemble traditional lasagna.

I would purchase 2 boxes of it because the traditional lasagna noodles are longer than the gluten-free ones, so you may need a few extra to fill the slow cooker. It’s also important to choose oven-ready – no-boil lasagna noodles. The Jovial Brand is no-boil and oven-ready.

The Barilla brand can also be used and works well, these are easily found at Target or Walmart, get the Oven Ready Gluten-Free Barilla Lasagna Noodles. The only difference is these are flat on the ends and not curved.

This recipe uses lean ground beef, but if you want to make it a little extra, you could combine a pound of ground beef and a pound of ground sausage. This would give you a deeper flavor profile too.

If you prefer it to be even more cheesy, add an extra cup of Mozzarella Cheese.

Be sure to let the lasagna sit with the lid off for at least 10-15 minutes before serving, this allows it to cool and will give you a straighter, neater cut when slicing too.

This is wonderful served with your favorite Garlic Bread or Gluten-Free Garlic Bread and a side salad.

The leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. When ready to serve, place a portion on an oven-proof plate and add some shredded cheese.

It can then be microwaved for 1 minute or heated in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for 4-5 minutes.

Now it’s time to enjoy this wonderful lasagna! The flavor and taste will be similar to restaurant quality, but you don’t have to share your secret about how easy this lasagna in the slow cooker is!
