Microwave Lasagna
It's almost hard to believe that this traditional, mouthwatering dish comes from the microwave. While the lasagna cooks, use your oven to bake some rolls or bread to complete the meal.—Betty Ruenholl, Syracuse, Nebraska

This lasagna recipe works like magic! My mother has been making this since the 1980s when this recipe originally appeared in Southern Living magazine. We always chose to cook the ground beef on the stove top first. Take a tip from my mother- She always made two at a time. One for immediate use and one unbaked placed in the freezer. She would simply pull it out the day before she wanted to use it. As a volunteer food editor for Taste of Home I love seeing the classic recipes!

This came out beautifully. Tasty and better texture than most traditional oven lasagna recipes.
