Lasagna is a pasta that has stolen the hearts of many, and our slow cooker beef lasagna soup recipe is no different. It is the perfect easy dinner recipe filled with pasta and those Italian flavors that you and your family will enjoy.
Lasagna – who doesn’t love a good lasagna recipe like our slow cooker beef lasagna soup recipe? I seriously love all of the flavors of lasagna, so a good lasagna ranks high for me.
I love it even more when someone else is making the lasagna. Haha. Let’s not lie, the perfect lasagna casserole recipe can take quite a bit of time to put together.
However, with the best lasagna soup recipe (aka ours), making lasagna has never been so easy. This will easily become a dinner the whole family will love and ask for often.
Since we are in the depths of winter, I know this will be a great recipe to make, especially on those nights where you are more than pressed for time. If you want to round out this slow cooker recipe with some sides, I would suggest trying our Slow Cooker Green Beans Recipe (Easy Side Dish), Green Beans with Candied Pecans Recipe, or even some delicious Roasted Parmesan Sweet Potatoes Recipe.
I also love dipping our Easy Homemade French Bread Recipe in this lasagna soup. So. Good.

How To Make Our Slow Cooker Beef Lasagna Soup Recipe:
To begin making your tasty lasagna soup, begin by heating the ground beef and diced onion in a large skillet over medium high heat until the meat is browned and the onions have become tender.
Then, pour the beef and onions into a colander and drain the grease.
Now, get out your slow cooker and spray it with nonstick cooking spray and the pour in the beef and onion mixture.
Next, add in the minced garlic cloves, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into the beef and stire it all together.
Once you have the seasonings in the slow cooker, add in the chicken broth and stir everything again.
Now, take the broken pieces of lasagna noodle and scatter them in the slow cooker and pour in the marinara sauce.
Still all of the ingredients together and then place the lid on the slow cooker.
Turn the slow cooker on low for 2-3 hours or until the pasta is cooked all the way through.
When that is done, remove the lid and pour the half and half into the slow cooker and mix everything together until it is well combined.
Then simply serve the lasagna soup in your favorite bowls and top it with some freshly chopped basil and parmesan cheese, and enjoy!

What to Do if You Don’t Have Half and Half
There are times when I think I know everything I have in my fridge, and there are more times than I’d care to admit that I have been wrong. Haha.
Often that is more with dairy items just like half and half. So that is when I have to get a little creative and either substitute it or make my own half and half.
The Suburban Soapbox has a great article on what half and half is and how to make your own! So, if you are like me and thought you had some, but turns out that you don’t, check it out and see if you have what you need to make your own half and half.
Can I Put Raw Ground Beef in the Slow Cooker?
You can, but most recipes have a step for browning the ground beef first to make sure that it is evenly cooked and the grease is drained. If you put the ground beef in the slow cooker raw, you will want to break it into little pieces first and then make sure that it’s fully cooked before consuming food.
I have found that I prefer to cook it before adding it to the slow cooker because then I can drain the grease off of the meat. However, if you want a recipe that doesn’t require cooking the ground beef before adding it to the slow cooker, check out our Slow Cooker Hobo Dinner recipe.
What Kind of Pasta Should I Use for Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup?
For this recipe we tend to use the traditional pasta noodle if we have it. However, don’t let that stop you from using other pasta noodles.
I definitely encourage using what you have on hand. Don’t worry It will all taste fantastic.
