Here's an interesting way to serve a great main dish and enjoy several different cheeses. My family loves the meat sauce and cheese tucked into the hollowed-out buns. Add a crisp green salad for a complete meal. -Cindy Morelock, Afton, Tennessee

Cut this down for two. It was wonderful and we can finally enjoy Lasagna for two.

These were good. Next time I'd cut down on the ricotta mixture but otherwise they are great! Thanks for the recipe.

Great hot sandwich! Tastes just like lasagna without the fuss.

Very good. Just make sure your rolls are deep enough. Mine were a little to small. I couldn't get enough filling in.

I was a little skeptical, but this was actually really good and super-easy to make. :) My husband said he likes it better than the real thing!

These were delicious and yes, we will be making these again. I used cottage cheese instead of ricotta because that's what I use in my lasagna and that's what I had on hand. Everyone loved these!

My husband didn't like the garlic but otherwise it was tasty and unique. The ends of the bread were somewhat hard to eat because they got so crispy so I would just cut down the baking time by 5 minutes next time.

My kids and I loved this recipe! They're not all fans of traditional lasagna, but they all enjoyed this. It's easy and yummy!
