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 casserole was a bit of a disappointment. The recipe was easy to follow, but the casserole turned out bland and mushy. I think I will try a different recipe next time.
