After the success of the Spinach and Mushroom Lasagna, I was excited to try sausage lasagna. This was tasty, but I didn't enjoy it quite as much. We used turkey sausage, and perhaps a I added too much ricotta. I didn't make my slow cooker foil sling large enough, so the lasagna did not come out neatly. Oh well. We enjoyed the leftovers for a few days.

This was the best lasagna I've ever had. It had excellent flavor, wonderful texture, and it wasn't overly cheesy. A real winner, and I'm not usually a lasagna fan.

This recipe required all the prep for a lasagna cooked in the oven (pre-cooking noodles, sautéing vegetables and the like), so the only real convenience is that you come home and your meal is already cooked. The authors do not try to disguise the fact that most quality slow cooker recipes require a fair amount of prep work. Regardless, I can't wait to try more from this cookbook.

I have been looking for a quality slow cooker cookbook, and I think I have found one worth purchasing from the fine folks at America's Test Kitchen & Cooks Illustrated.
