Make Once, Eat Twice Lasagna image

Our family loves this recipe along with a green salad and garlic bread. It's so handy to have an extra pan in the freezer when unexpected guests drop in or you need to take a main course to a charity event. -Geri Davis, Prescott, Arizona

Overall, I thought this lasagna was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This lasagna was really bland. I had to add a lot of extra spices to make it taste good.

I followed the recipe exactly and my lasagna turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

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

This lasagna was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought sauce and it still tasted amazing.

I'm not a huge fan of lasagna, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so flavorful and cheesy. I'll definitely be making it again.

I made this lasagna last night and it was delicious! The only thing I changed was adding a layer of spinach. It turned out perfect.
