Garden-Style Beef Lasagna image

Everyone who has tried this fabulous lasagna dish absolutely loves it; rants and raves over it; and asks me for the recipe. People are always surprised that it can be prepared entirely in the microwave. For a change of pace, I like to add a layer of sliced zucchinis. -Micaela Miller, Corinth, Texas

I had some trouble getting the lasagna to cook evenly. The top was browned but the bottom was still a little undercooked. I think I would cook it at a lower temperature for a longer period of time next time.

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would use less cheese next time.

I made this lasagna for my vegetarian friends and they loved it! I used a meatless ground beef substitute and it worked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.

This lasagna was easy to make and turned out great! I used a jarred marinara sauce instead of making my own, and it still tasted delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

I had some trouble finding no-boil lasagna noodles, so I used regular noodles and boiled them for a few minutes before assembling the lasagna. It turned out fine, but I think the no-boil noodles would have been better.

This lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and Italian seasoning next time.
