You’re amazing, look at the Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Lasagne dishes you’ve made…
For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card below. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb!
This Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Lasagne is a mouth-watering treat for busy days. Set your meat to cook in the slow cooker all day, and then all you need to do is assemble and oven bake the lasagne when you get home.
The recipe was inspired by a clever member of the Pinch of Nom community who used some leftovers from our Pulled Pork recipe to make a lasagne. How delicious does that sound?
We had to give it a try ourselves, although we’ve switched the pork for a slow-cooked gammon joint, to keep the calories down as much as possible. If you’d prefer, you can absolutely make this lasagne using the Pulled Pork instead!
Whichever you choose, we can guarantee that the end result will be so satisfying. Layer the BBQ-seasoned meat with our slimming-friendly white sauce and lasagne sheets, then top the whole thing with cheese and bake it until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Perfect for batch cooking, this is a freezer-friendly recipe that’ll make you very glad to have leftovers for a rainy day!
If you don’t have a slow cooker, this recipe can also be made in your oven or in your Instant Pot, so it’s ready on a schedule that fits into your busy day.

Step 1
Soak the gammon joint in water for a few hours or overnight to remove the excess salt. This step is really important to prevent the finished lasagne ending up too salty!
Step 2
Mix the pepper with the BBQ seasoning and rub it all over the gammon joint. Spray a frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray. Brown the gammon on all sides, remove from the pan and leave to one side.
Step 3
Add the onions and cook until soft. Transfer the gammon and onions into the pot of the slow cooker and pour in the boiling water and Worcestershire sauce. Crumble in the stock cube and give it a stir.
Step 4
Cook on high for 5 hours. Remove the slow cooker lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking to reduce the liquid down. Remove the gammon from the slow cooker and transfer the liquid to a jug.
Step 5
Once the gammon joint is cooked, make the BBQ sauce. Spray a large frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray and cook the onions and garlic until the onions are soft.
Step 6
Add the tomato puree, chopped tomatoes and passata and liquid from the slow cooker. Give the pan a stir and add in the BBQ seasoning, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sweetener and chipotle paste. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. If the sauce looks too runny, simmer for a little longer.
Step 7
Shred the gammon with two forks and add to the BBQ sauce stir and coat with the sauce.
Step 8
Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Mix the yoghurt and eggs until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
Step 9
Spread a layer of the pulled pork mixture into the bottom of an ovenproof dish, then add a layer of lasagne sheets, then some of the white sauce. Repeat with a further layer of pulled pork, lasagne and the rest of the sauce.
Step 10
Sprinkle the top with the Cheddar cheese and pop in the oven for 30 minutes, until the top of the lasagne is golden brown. Serve with your choice of accompaniment.
