Very tasty and much easier than lasagna! I added some chopped onion as someone else mentioned. I also put some garlic powder and parsley in the cheese mixture. I had light Italian sausage with pork and chicken which worked great. made for Spring PAC 2014

This was delicious...like you said tastes like lasagna only easier to make. I cut the recipe in half and added a little chopped onion and garlic to the sausage while browning but otherwise followed the instructions. Definately will make again. Made for Spring PAC 2012.

This was great! We love lasagna but the prep work is a hassle. This was much easier and has the same flavor. It makes a ton. Leftovers the we appreciate! :) Made for PAC Spring 2009.
