Lasagna Casserole image

While growing up, this was the meal I always wanted on my birthday. Mother made the sauce from scratch, but I use store-bought spaghetti sauce to save time. Replace the ground beef with Italian sausage if you want more spice. -Deb Morrison, Skiatook, Oklahoma

This lasagna is sooo rich. If you're lucky enough to live near a great seafood market this is an easy yet elegant dish. Unfortunately, I only make it rarely because of the cost of seafood where I live.
