Best lasagna recipe I've ever made.

"Sooo good!!! I made a few changes as I went along that seemed to work. First I added mozzarella to the cottage cheese mix. I used a 7x11 pan because I was only serving 2 people and I also used about a half jar of prego sauce in the sausage mix because it seemed too thick. I used the no-boil lasagna noodles as well, which turned out perfect and made for less dishes and quicker meal. My best lasagna yet!" - Stephmill

    The family really liked this. I didn't use as much cheese as recommended, and sub'd ricotta cheese. I thought there was still to much cheese and not enough pasta. Will try it with another type of pasta next time, instead of lasagna.

    The lasagna I usually make takes an hour of cooking time not to mention the prep, but this was faster and more flavorful!

    This was delicious! I used 2 lbs meat (beef and sausage) as suggested. I also didn't need 7 cups of mozzarella, used about half of that. Added salt and paper as well. Everyone loved it! Even the little ones :)

    It's good and easy! My husband liked it so much, he asked where I bought it. I used just ground beef.

    Cooked this tonight. I didn't put as much mozzarella as the recipe called for, and I added a third layer of lasagna noodles. It was awesome! Can't wait to eat the leftovers.

    Best lasagna I've ever made. And super easy too!! I used 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can of paste and 1 can of tomato sauce instead of what the recipe calls for.

    This dish was great. I had leftover short ribs that I substituted for the meat. My husband liked it so much-he kept asking me if I bought it.

    Excellent!!! I made a couple changes tho. Ground beef instead of sausage. Tomato sauce instead of diced. Halved everything except for beef and sauce so had double meat sauce than what recipe called for but I think the ratio was just right! Husband loved!also used half mozzarella &half Monterey jack.

    forget the sausage mice and use a pork and veal combination, less fat

    Very good and easy to make. I replaced the cottage cheese with Ricotta cheese. Turned out well

    This was hands down the easiest and best lasagna I have ever made! Definitely going to be making this again!!

    Really good and easy to make, not five stars because it's not the best I've ever had.
    1 years, 3 months, 2 days, 14 hours, 6 minutes ago
    Excellent recipe, added a little tomato sauce just because I was a little worried it would not be saucy enough. I also added a small onion chopped and sautéed with the sausage. Added this to my favorites immediately, my family is going to want this again.

    I prepared this recipe tonight for dinner and it was delicious. I followed the recipe exactly except I substituted the ground beef for venison. Thank you for the great recipe.
