  • 1 can (29 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 12 to 14 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained

Directions

  • Spread about 1/2 cup meat sauce into two greased 8-in. square baking dishes. Place two to three noodles in each dish, trimming to fit if necessary. Top each with about 1/2 cup cream cheese mixture and about 2/3 cup meat sauce. Repeat layers twice. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheddar cheese over each.
  • Cover and freeze one casserole for up to 1 month. Bake remaining casserole, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and heated through. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
  • To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator for 18 hours. Remove casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-50 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 2 casseroles (4-6 servings each).

This is hands down our FAVORITE lasagna recipe! Have made it 2 weeks in a row and gobbled it up both times!

Very yummy! Made it with spaghetti noodle because I didn't have lasagna noodles and I was hungry for lasagna.

I made this for my daughter and husband. We loved this recipe. The combination of cream cheese and sour cream is very tasty. I made this for my family and they all loved it as well. I do not like lasagna with onion, peppers and tomoato chunks therefore this recipe was perfect! I will be making this again.

I cut the recipe in half to make 1 casserole. Seemed like there was too much cheese mixture compared to the beef mixture, maybe I should have let it set longer. Very rich-one helping is plenty.

Unusual and delicious! My husband and teenage son LOVED it so much, I had to make it again a week later!

This is amazing. I used sausage instead of hamburger and sharp cheddar. My family loved this more than my regular lasagna recipe!

sour cream didn't make it with my family. Thumbs down on making it again.

I would make it my way.. Added spinach, italian sasuage, no sour cream, cottage cheese with chives. Classico spagetti sauce, 3 cheeses too. budwieser made it best.

I liked this recipe, but my boyfriend absolutely LOVED this recipe, which is why I rated it five stars. It's good. I used soy ground "beef" and fat free cream cheese, and it was delicious. I also halved the recipe and made only one casserole instead of two. The next time, I will use more green onions, I think. I ate two small pieces for dinner, and then my boyfriend ate the rest in one sitting!
