Our wonderful Pastor and his daughter were at home roughing it while our Pastors wife was in the hospital after a major surgery. Each family signed up for a day that we would take a meal to the Pastors home. I chose this meal as my selection. It was without exception loved by all. In fact, I have passed this website on to all of my friends. Thank you for such an outstanding job on this recipe and the many others that people take the time to send in. They are truly apprecitaed all over the world. Trish from North Dakota

This was a delicious recipe! The salami was a change from most lasagna recipes and added a nice flavor. I did use canadian bacon in place of regular bacon but did use bacon grease when frying the hamburger. I also added 1 can of diced tomatoes seasoned with garlic,basil and oregano and 1 of regular diced tomatoes. I added about 2tsp of green bell pepper also. It turned out very Delicious!! Our company loved it :) Thank you for sharing the recipe!
