Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Love your lasagna thick and meaty? For thick pieces of lasagna, use a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker. A larger slow cooker will also work, but your lasagna pieces will be a bit thinner.
  • tip 2
    Caesar salad and Italian bread make nice accompaniments to this delicious lasagna.
