EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Leftover lasagna freezes well. Wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap, then wrap again with aluminum foil. You need only unwrap and thoroughly reheat to enjoy an instant lasagna fix!

Put this recipe together lickety-split using 5 cups (40 ounces) of your favorite regular (do not use thick or extra-thick varieties) spaghetti sauce with meat instead of the first eight ingredients.

If your family likes lasagna with a milder flavor, use ground beef instead of the bulk Italian sausage.

I made this recipe for my boyfriend & he loved it! It's super easy to do & it has a great flavor without overdoing it. I added more cheese than the recipe calls for, but it was yummy! Also, I might add a little more meat too next time, but it was overall a great recipe. I highly recommend it!

Great recipe! Made it last night and my boyfriend loved it. His only comment (and I tend to agree)....it seemed a little on the dry side after cooking. When we ate the leftovers today, we added some pasta sauce and loved it even more. I think the recipe should include mixing in some pasta sauce in the mix to moisten it up a bit more. I think next time...when I spread sauce mixture, I'm also going to spread some pasta sauce in each layer.

This is the absolute best lasagna recipe ever!! I will never try another recipe, the only thing I do to spice it up is add a can of rotel tomatoes. My husband and I LOVE it and even the kids like the left overs :)
