Crockpot Lasagna

This was a really easy tasty meal!  I put it in the fridge overnight(because I forgot to turn the crockpot on but we'll pretend it was planned).  It only took about 3 hours on low to warm up and be done since I'd let it sit overnight:o)  I did not take a picture because I got lazy and instead of layering I threw everything together and layered with noodles so it doesn't *look* as lovely as it really should have.  

Tee sent this through the recipe challenge group.
