<csforum:threaddata style="line-height: 1.22em;">RE: Can you put lasagna in a electric roaster?</csforum:threaddata>

This is a recipe Cubbybear posted about a year ago, from the Nesco website. I have not tried this. I thought the procedure might help you.
I assumed you were referring to a crockpot type when you said electric roaster.
Lazy Lasagna
Submitted to Nesco® by Mimi Shanahan, who lives in McCook Lake, SD.
1 1/2 lbs. hamburger (I use 90% lean)
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
1 large size jar of prepared spaghetti sauce
2 cups water
1 pkg mozarella cheese, sliced thin or grated
1 cup Parmesan Cheese
1 container ricotta cheese
1 pkg. lasagna noodles, uncooked.
In 4 or 6 qt. Nesco® Roaster Oven, brown hamburger till done, stirring often. Stir in green pepper and onion and cook till onion begins to turn clear. Remove grease. Add spaghetti sauce, seasonings and water. Simmer to blend flavors. Pour mixture into a separate bowl.
Add about 1/2 cup sauce in bottom of 4-qt Nesco® cooker. Layer uncooked lasagna noodles using 3 for each layer, cheeses and sauce, reserving enough to top the lasagna during the last 10 minutes of cooking. You should be able to use the entire package of noodles and it will fill the 4-qt Nesco® cooker perfectly.
Preheat your Nesco Roaster to 325F, with the cookwell removed (with the lid on, though.) When preheated, just lift the lid, put the cookwell in, cover with the lid and bake for 45-60 minutes.
I had great success using your cooking directions and the suggestion of adding a little water in the pan if the lasagna begins to get too brown worked great. I had to put a little water in each corner.
The Nesco® 4-qt cooker makes a wonderfully thick lasagna, however, it makes quite a lot. Not to worry, though, as it freezes and reheats well. If freezing, leave final cheese layer off and add it as before.

Here's a recipe that says it was taken from the Nesco website. Maybe that will help you.

If it were me, I'd make the lasagna in a pan and put the pan in the roaster to bake.
