This lasagna-like entree takes me back to my childhood. I got the recipe from a friend's mother, who fixed it for us when we were kids. I made a few changes to it, but it's still quick and delicious. —Dallas McCord Reno, Nevada

we liked it, but i would add another 1lb of sausage, and cook the onions ( i cut only 2 not 4) with the sausage and ragu sauce....i think the onions should be diced and 4 was entirely too many!

I cut this recipe in half because my husband and my daughter's boyfriend are both "Meat & Potatoes" kind of guys, but they both LOVED this! It's a keeper!

Family said it was too saucy. They won't let me make it again but if I did, I would cut the sour cream and cream cheese in half.

Really enjoyed this recipe. However, I was making it only for two people so I cut all the ingredients in half and used a 2-qt. casserole to bake it in. I also used Italian turkey sausage in place of the Italian sausage. Very Good.

It's a little greasy, but oh so good! I always make it with kielbasa, there are never any left-overs!
