This zesty layered casserole is a real crowd-pleaser. It was one of our children's favorites when they were young...now our grandchildren love it! Plus, it's easier to make than traditional lasagna. —Mrs. Leo Merchant of Jackson, Mississippi

I omitted the musshrooms and added spinach, but expected it to be a bit more flavorful. My husband and son loved it. I think I'll add about 1/4 cup of mozzarella to the sour cream next time and some fennel seed to the sauce.
