Lasagna

Submitted by JacksonRoykirk

"I've made this for years and everyone loves it. You might want to try a variation on this that I've tried recently. Try adding in 1/2 lb of sweet italian sausage. I use the natural casing kind. Take the stuffing out of the casing and brown it with the ground beef - yum!"
