Directions

Generously spray 6-quart slow cooker with no-stick cooking spray; set aside.

Combine Italian sausage, onion, green pepper and garlic in 12-inch skillet; cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until sausage is cooked through (6 to 10 minutes). Drain, if necessary. Add pasta sauce; mix well.

Combine all filling ingredients in medium bowl until well mixed.

Spoon 1/4 meat mixture (about 2 cups) into prepared slow cooker; top with 3 lasagna noodles (break to fit). Spread with 1/4 cheese filling (about 3/4 cup); top with 3 cheese slices. Repeat layers 2 more times. Top all with remaining noodles; remaining filling and remaining meat mixture.

Cover; cook on Low heat setting for 4 to 6 hours or High heat setting for 2 to 4 hours, or until noodles are tender.

Top with remaining 3 cheese slices. Let stand until cheese is melted. Cut lasagna into pieces or wedges.
