Crockpot meals are always a hit in our house, but this 2 Meat Crockpot Lasagna is by far one of our favorites. Chock full of rich flavors, tons of cheese, and of course, so easily cooked in a slow cooker, this recipe is a favorite for any mom who wants a hearty but easy meal for dinner.

This 2 Meat Crockpot Lasagna is a great way to add rich flavor to a classic pasta dish. Many people use just ground beef, but the addition of sausage adds another level of flavor that really kicks this up a few notches. As you look for the right sausage, consider the flavor profile you prefer.

A good Italian sausage is recommended, but you can choose turkey, pork, or even chicken sausage for this. Just make sure you aren’t using breakfast sausage, as that won’t turn out nearly as tasty.

While you do need to cook the ground beef and sausage before layering in the slow cooker, this Crockpot lasagna is still super simple to make. You don’t even have to worry about cooking the pasta before you layer the lasagna. That’s one less frustrating step and makes it easy to even get the kids to help you assemble this dish.

Another great tip is to prep things like ground meat or sausage when you buy them, so you only have to grab a bag from your freezer and pour it into a dish like this, already cooked and ready to season.

This 2 Meat Crockpot Lasagna is perfect by itself but can easily be served with a great side of our Italian green beans for a hearty and healthy meal everyone will enjoy.
