Cooking in a Crock-Pot is one of the simplest ways to make healthy meals without sweating over the stove. Just throw in the ingredients, let the slow cooker do its magic, and find yourself with a delicious and nutrient-packed meal. Crock-Pots are not only good for soups, stews, and overnight oats, but they can also be used for decadent dishes like this lasagna!
