American Lasagna image

I love lasagna because it is so saucy, rich and comforting and this recipe is no exception! There's no Italian sausage in it making it "American". I found this recipe online. Hope you'll give it a try!

I love lasagna, but I'm always looking for new ways to make it. This recipe was a nice change of pace, and it was really tasty.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I made this lasagna with tofu instead of beef. It was surprisingly delicious!

I made this lasagna in a 9x13 inch pan, and it was way too much food for my family of four. I would recommend making it in a smaller pan.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I used cottage cheese instead. The lasagna was still delicious.

This lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

I was missing some ingredients, so I had to make some substitutions. The lasagna still turned out great, but I would like to try it with the original ingredients next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lasagna turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my kids loved it. I would probably use less cheese next time.
