100% would make again

When I saw a lasagna recipe that did not call for precooking the noodles, I was anxious to try this time-saving shortcut. Making some changes and additions to suit my taste, I developed this popular dish that I now call my own.

I've made this and is great and very easy. My boys love it. Every time they want lasagna this is the one I use.

We made it with ground beef because our store did not sell the sausage. We prefer our lasagna more saucy, and this lasagna turns out fine, just not very saucy.

Excellent and easy! This also was my first attempt at lasagna, it turned out great. My picky kids loved it.

I have NEVER made a lasagna before and was REALLY skeptical about this but I thought other people have done it with success so I tried it. And I'll be darned it worked and the family loved it.

This is one of my favorite recipes from Taste of Home. I used HOT sausage to spice things up.
