Meaty Lasagna Roll-Ups Recipe – A Family Favorite
Put a twist on lasagna night with these Meaty Lasagna Roll-Ups! Easier than regular lasagna and just as delicious!
LASAGNA ROLL-UPS ARE PERFECT FOR THE FREEZER
Anytime I make these, I try to make extra to freeze so we have an easy meal ready and waiting for us that just needs to be baked. Unfortunately, it never works out that way.
These are such a big hit with my family that they never make it that far, we’re usually left with enough for leftovers the next day unless of course my parents find out I’m making them. Then we usually have surprise dinner guests that night. No kidding!
In a large bowl mix the ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan cheese together with the salt, pepper, parsley and basil. Mix well.
Once the noodles are cooked and have cooled for a few minutes, line them up on a large plate.

I see the secret to this is the slow cooker. I tried to make these in the oven and (duh!) the edges were all dry. I'll try your method next.
Oh my goodness did this come out wonderfully. One of my families favorite dishes is lasagna. All you need is some fresh garlic bread and maybe a side salad. Easy complete meal.
This looks good!!!!
Ive always done these with the meat mixed right into the rest of the cheese mixture. I love how they all have the exact amount of noodle/filling mix.
My husband would love this. The more meat the better
