MEXICAN LASAGNA - NO LASAGNA NOODLES!
This is a traditional dish in my family. Anyone can make it really. It is composed of traditional Mexican ingredients layered over the top of one another in a lasagna-like fashion (hence the name) but has little similarity to lasagna, so lasagna haters have no fear!

NO-FUSS LASAGNA
I like this recipe because it can be prepared a day ahead and baked just before serving, so it's a great way to avoid that last-minute rush when attending a potluck. Using packaged spaghetti sauce and noodles that are not pre-boiled makes preparation especially quick. -Denise Goedeken, Platte Center, Nebraska

NO-COOK LASAGNA
No pre-cooking needed but your guests will never know! My adjustments to this recipe add more sauce and more cheese since I always seemed to run short when assembling this dish. This is a tried and true winner on Bridge night. For the best flavor I recommend Prego sauce flavored with Italian sausage - or brown some Italian sausage along with the ground beef for the sauce.

AWESOME LASAGNA (NO-BOIL, EASY)

- Layer the lasagna properly: Start with a layer of sauce, then add a layer of noodles, followed by a layer of cheese. Repeat these layers until you have used up all of your ingredients.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
