The home cook first heated oil in a fry pan and added in onion, garlic, minced steak, mushrooms, herbs, salt and pepper until slightly brown.
The chef added in the tomatoes, spinach and tomato paste and stirred it all together until combined.
To make the sauce, the cook melted butter in the microwave for 30 seconds before stirring in flour and then adding milk and cooking for about three minutes or until it thickens.

The amateur chef then lightly sprayed a slow cooker dish with oil and poured meat, sauce and arranged the strips in the dish.
After arranging the lasagne strips over the bechamel sauce, the cook poured all the remaining meat and sauce and covered with mozzarella.
‘Arrange mozzarella over bechamel and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cook for 2 hours on high then 1-1.5 hours on low,’ the amateur chef wrote.
‘Or 6-8 hours on low depending on what your slowcooker is like. Cook with tea towel trick under the lid.’
The amateur chef arranged the ingredients in the slow cooker and cooked the meal on high for two hours and an extra one and a half on low
Other Facebook users made the recipe and said it tastes delicious and they’d never make the dish any other way.
‘Jumping on the bandwagon [and] I will never make lasagne in the oven again,’ one person wrote.
Another said:’ I made this for the first time a couple weeks ago and was surprised how well it turned out. I kept thinking the pasta sheets would go gluggy but they didn’t.’
‘We made this last night. It was delish,’ one person wrote. ‘Mmmm makes me hungry this looks sooo good,’ another said.
