Mmm… Fall. We love winter squash in our house, and we’re always looking for new ways to incorporate seasonal produce into recipes, such as this lasagne-like dish with butternut squash that fits perfectly with the slow-cooker lifestyle. Also, this recipe looks like it could easily be modified with the addition or substitution of some other fall vegetables you might have on hand, making it a great starting point for those “what do we do with these leftover veggies?” days.
Just put it all together, then go do something else for a while, and dinner will be hot and ready whenever you are. There’s no having to check the oven or worrying about it burning, or even having to be home while it cooks, so our slow-cooker (and our solar oven, which I’m soon going to try with this recipe) gets a lot of use.
Don’t spend an afternoon laboring over lasagna when you can quickly assemble this Delicious Living staff favorite, turn on the slow cooker and have some fun while it’s cooking. Spray the slow cooker first; it prevents sticking and keeps the lasagna from burning at the edges. Also, if you can’t find butternut squash, you can substitute frozen; no need to defrost.
