We LOVED this dish! The cream of onion really makes this dish. I used ricotta instead of cottage cheese but kept everything else the same. I also used my Dutch oven, pasta was cooked as directed and perfectly done. I will be making this time and time again!

No way no cook lasagna noodles were done in 20 minutes. Cooked 25 minutes and they are still cooking.

Outstanding! Made it exactly as stated and it was great. My husband says, 'Let's have this every week'.

I made this for my family two nights ago, & they raved over it! Fastest lasagna recipe I've tried. The only thing I changed was omitting the cheddar-jack cheese & using 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella. I also followed the suggestion of another reviewer & used my dutch oven. A definite "keeper" at our house!

To make this dish lower in sodium, you could make your own tomato sauce vs. the jarred sauce. Use 1 large can of crushed tomatoes, 1 large can of tomato paste, 4 cloves of minced garlic and 2 teaspoons of basil and add pepper to taste. Cook over medium heat until sauce comes to a boil. Follow the recipe using your homemade sauce in place of the jarred sauce and be sure to omit the canned soup entirely from the recipe. These changes should help to reduce the amount of the sodium in the recipe.

I couldn’t find cream of onion so used cream of mushroom. Will look at Walmart nezt time and hope I find it! ( in AZ). I chopped an onion and cooked it along with the garlic and ground beef. I also did not cook in a skillet. I wanted to make it in the morning to cook later so layered it in a 9x13 pan. Worked perfectly! So delicious!!

Like many others, I couldn't find the onion soup, so I took a chance on cream of chicken. The rest of the recipe was made as instructed and it was delicious! Oh, I only used one egg because husband can't stand eggs and I was worried the he'd pick up on it. It was really delicious! And you can play around with the basic recipe and probably not go wrong! Ricotta in place of cottage cheese, maybe? Thanks for the recipe!
