This traditional lasagna is a real crowd-pleaser. With ground beef, Italian sausage, a from-scratch tomato sauce and a rich cheese sauce, it's hearty and delicious. I get lots of compliments when I put together and share this wonderful dish.-Donna Patterson, Davenport, Iowa

The lasagna was delicious, but it was a lot of work to make. I'm not sure if I would make it again unless I had a special occasion.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lasagna didn't turn out as expected. The noodles were too soft and the sauce was too watery.

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using less cheese next time.
