Vegitarian Lasagna

[Guest guest]

This is a recipe that I have cooked in the oven for some time and decided to

convert it to a Crockpot. I hope you all enjoy it. It is really a good one.

The notes in parenthesis are the changes I made to put it into the Crockpot.

If you choose to make it the original way ignore them.
