This was fabulous! I did make some changes but only minor ones. 1st I changed the type of cheese because even though I love swiss, the rest of my family does not feel the same way. I ended up using 8oz of cheddar combined with 6oz of havarti (we love extra cheese). The only other thing I did differantly was to scramble the eggs instead of hard boiling them. I am not one who is fond of over cooked eggs, so I scrambled them and left them a tad on the runny side, layered them in the dish and allowed them to finish cooking in the oven. They came out perfect! I added a picture of my own. This is definately going into my keeper file. Thanks for posting!

My word this was tasty. I have anything else to add. Made for Every Day Holiday Tag. :)

I'm not going to give a star review yet because I made a couple changes that probably affected how this turned out. I used minced dried onions because I was out of fresh ones. I browned them using 1/3 cup butter instead of bacon grease because I cooked my bacon in the microwave. Anyway, that didn't work too well given the onions were dried and it turned the sauce a weird brown color. I also used oven ready lasagne noodles that you don't have to precook. I don't think there was quite enough sauce to soften them up all the way although they weren't crunchy or anything. So I basically changed the whole recipe but it still turned out pretty good. I'll try making it again the right way and I'm sure it'll be even better!
