How to Cook the Sausage for Grandmas Lasagna

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Matt Senatore on behalf of Expert Village. Today we are going to learn how to make my grandmas Josephine 3 layer lasagna. The first thing we are going to do is cook the Italian sausage. Now the reason that I like to cook the Italian sausage first cause it take a really long time to cook. So while it is cooking in the slow cooker I can prepare the rest of the meal and then by the time the rest of the recipe of the meal is done I can add the Italian sausage to the lasagna. Now the first thing you want to do is you want to poke little holes in the sausage all the way down. Just because you cook it in the slow cooker it helps to cook all the way through so we just poke little holes all through the Italian sausage. Like so. Then turn them over so you can get to the other side also. Poke holes through. Like that and now we are ready to add them to the slow cooker. The first thing you want to do is add some water to your slow cooker. So you are going to pour some water into the bottom. Then (let me put this over here)we are going to put our sausage in the slow cooker. Cover it and turn it on to about 375. Now while that is cooking we are going to make our sauce."
