Loaded Four Cheese and Three meat Lasagna image

I have always believed that a true cook will cook anything, regardless if it is something that she/he eats or not. I am not a fan of Italian foods, but I cook it and people seem to really enjoy it. For a person who isn't into Italian foods, I must say that I really love my Lasagna recipe.

This lasagna is a great way to use up leftover meat. I used leftover chicken and it was delicious.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I substituted cottage cheese instead. It turned out great!

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my family loved it. I think next time I'll use less cheese.
