5-Ingredient Slow Cooker Patriots Day Lasagna
This slow cooker lasagna starts with a thin layer of marinara in a greased 6-quart cooker, then builds with broken uncooked noodles, cooked ground beef, ricotta, more sauce, and mozzarella. The layers are repeated until the ingredients are used up, ending with sauce and cheese on top for a classic baked-style finish in the slow cooker.
The dish cooks covered on low until the noodles are tender and the lasagna is hot and bubbly. After cooking, it rests for 15 minutes before slicing and serving, which helps the layered filling settle before portions are cut.

3-Cheese Sausage Lasagna Roll-Ups
These lasagna roll-ups use cooked al dente noodles filled with a ricotta mixture mixed with mozzarella, Parmesan, parsley, eggs, salt, and pepper. A separate sausage filling is made by browning the sausage, then cooking it with onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes before it goes onto each noodle with the cheese mixture.
Each noodle is rolled up and placed seam-side down in a baking dish with sauce on the bottom. The roll-ups are topped with remaining sauce and mozzarella, then baked covered before a brief uncovered broil to make the cheese bubbly and golden.

Creamy Chicken Lasagna
This creamy chicken lasagna layers cooked noodles with a ricotta mixture, shredded chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan, and a béchamel or Alfredo sauce. The filling is seasoned with basil and parsley, and the recipe notes that rotisserie chicken works well, making the chicken component straightforward to prepare.
The noodles are cooked until just barely done and laid out separately so they do not stick, then the casserole is assembled in three layers in a greased 9×13-inch dish. It bakes covered first, then uncovered until golden and bubbling, and finishes with a short rest before slicing.

Easy Sheet Pan Lasagna
This sheet pan lasagna uses no-boil noodles, Italian sausage, ricotta, eggs, Parmesan, mozzarella, and provolone in a wide, shallow bake. The sausage is browned and mixed with marinara, while the ricotta filling is blended smooth with eggs, cheese, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Assembly begins with marinara on the greased sheet pan, then uncooked noodles, the ricotta mixture, part of the cheeses, and the meat sauce. A second noodle layer and the remaining marinara go on top before baking covered, then the pan is finished uncovered with more cheese until fully melted.

French Onion Lasagna
French onion lasagna combines cooked noodles, mozzarella, gruyere, sourdough croutons, caramelized onions, and a béchamel. The onion filling is built by cooking sliced onions in butter, then stirring in flour, beef stock, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar until thickened.
The sourdough cubes are tossed with olive oil and granulated garlic, baked until golden, and used as a layered element with the noodles, onion filling, croutons, and béchamel. The assembled lasagna is topped with mozzarella and more gruyere, then baked uncovered until the cheese is golden and the dish has rested briefly before slicing.
