My family just loves lasagna, but it’s not one of my favorite meals to make. For me, it’s one of those recipes that takes a lot of time and effort, then it gets gobbled up in minutes.

Making lasagna soup in the slow cooker is so much faster than making traditional lasagna. And I make it even faster by using pre-cooked ground beef that I keep on hand.

Another method for easy lasagna is our Baked Ravioli Lasagna. It’s only four ingredients, and bakes up in 30-40 minutes.

If you are looking for a crock pot soup with more vegetables, our Slow Cooker Hamburger Soup is another easy family meal.

How to make lasagna soup in the slow cooker

In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat olive oil, and cook ground beef and Italian sausage until half way done, about 3-4 minutes

Add in garlic and onion and continue to cook until the meat is cooked through, drain grease

Put mixture into crock pot and add in tomatoes, beef broth, vegetable juice, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 4-5 hours

Add in pasta and cook for an additional 30 minutes or until pasta is tender, season with extra salt and pepper if needed.

To serve, top with cheese, parsley or basil and enjoy!

How to store leftover soup

Soup made with ground beef should only be stored in the fridge for 4 days at the most. If the leftovers won’t be eaten right away, freeze them. I double up on zipper freezer bags just to be sure they don’t leak.

Let the soup fully cool, then pour into a bag using a no-hands storage holder (they’re so helpful!). Then you can store it in the freezer up to 3 months.

To reheat a bag of frozen lasagna soup, thaw it in the refrigerator first. Be sure to place it in a bowl in case it leaks (how would I know that?!). Then reeat using a microwave or on the stovetop.
