Gluten Free Crock Pot Lasagna

You know how many crock pot recipes can taste the same? Not this Gluten Free Crockpot Lasagna Pasta! This stuff is so crazy good that I have made it twice in the last eight days. With fall sports in full swing, this mama needs all the easy dinners I can get!

There are honestly many crock pot lasagna recipes out there but this was a new concept to me because I am not a big lasagna person. So in true chef hillary fashion, I took what I really love and made this recipe. So while it is not a traditional layered lasagna.. it is all the flavors of a comforting lasagna but much easier… and much healthier!

So many crock pot recipes are either a soup or a main dish that you still have to do something with when done.. like a meat but nothing else. This is an all in one dish! Meat, veggies, pasta, cheese… you can eat this and nothing else! Or you can serve it with a side salad or steamed broccoli. It’s up to you!

Why Make Gluten Free Crock Pot Lasagna  

• grass fed beef brings protein, iron, zinc, selenium, and omega 3.. your brain, blood, immune system and thyroid say thank you!
• Tomato sauce and spinach pack a punch with sooo many micronutrients like Vitamin A, C and Iron.
