Patti's Quick Lasagna

This is an awesome recipe my mother-in-law gave me when I first got married. My husband loves lasagna, but I hate boiling the noodles first. I usually eyeball the ingredients rather than measure, and I'm pretty heavy handed with the cheese :). This is also a great dish to take to someone who has had a baby, or the elderly and shut-ins because it holds well in the fridge or freezer and you just pop in the oven.

Quick and Easy Lasagna Quick and Easy Lasagna
My husband likes his lasagna thick, saucy, and cheesy. I like a lasagna that tastes good, has enough leftovers to freeze for a second dinner later, and doesn't break the bank! This is the recipe I came up with to fit the bill. holly.baxter.3701 -

Easy Lasagna Easy Lasagna
On the back of a box of Mullers Pasta, there is a recipe for an "easy lasagna bake." I've tweaked their recipe over the years. I like hot Italian sausage in mine but it's also good with sweet sausage, ground beef, or even ground turkey. This is very filling and affordable. It costs under $15.00 to make. It's about the size of a family-sized lasagna dinner you find in the frozen section at the supermarket but tastier. #Fakeaway frozen lasagna. Raven -

My family enjoys lasagna night. Anytime there is a family function they always ask me to make the lasagna. And to really get fancy we start off with a nice Caesar salad. Trust me there's rarely ever leftovers. Hope you enjoy and please feel free to leave comments. Cleo54
