We can hardly wait to dig into this cheesy, meaty lasagna. It smells great when baking and tastes even better! Watching Mom carefully make this wonderful main dish and hearing the raves she gets inspired me to learn to cook. -Gina Squires, Salem, Oregon

This recipe was okay. It tasted like a chili lasagna.

This was so amazing. I added chopped peppers (green, yellow and orange). Soooo filling. My husband loved it.

This is by far the best lasagna recipe I have ever made. I have been making it ever since it first came out in Taste of Home. The only change I made was I use ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. I have taken it to Potlucks, used it at family gatherings and it always gets the same results lots of compliments and always a empty dish!!! Thanks for this great recipe.

OH MY GOODNESS!! This is the best lasagna I've ever tasted! I changed it a little since my family likes it very meaty. I doubled the groud beef and Italian sausage. The recipe didn't specify, but I used the sweet variety of sausage. I also used 3 teaspons of oregano and 3 of basil. I substituted 16 ounces of Monteray Jack cheese for the cottage cheese. Since the extra meat made it start off with less liquid, I simmered it like the recipe said for 2 hours then covered it and simmered it another 2 hours. I though chili powder and salsa were strange ingredients, but as well as it turned out, I can't argue about them. I'll DEFINITELY be making this again.

I love this recipe. I substitute ricotta for half of the cottage cheese, however.

I love this recipe, and have made it many times. Everyone says it's the best lasagna they have ever eaten. It's good and saucy, just the way I like it.
