Ignore her instructions. She doesn’t use nearly enough meat and she uses way too many noodles. 3 lb of beef is what I would recommend. Also you only need to cook enough noodles to make your layers. One pound of noodles is too much by a lot! Do yourself a favor and pull out 12 lasagna noodles tops for one pan
Excellent recipe for my husband who hates parmesan. I added more garlic and I put it under the broiler for 7 minutes after the cook time to broil the top layer of cheese.
I made this for Christmas Dinner for my father and myself and it was so easy and delicious. I have saved this one ??
The best lasgnea I have ever had
Loved it! Simple and added some Italian Seasoning on the top when I cooked it. Yum!
Really quick to make. I didn’t have ricotta so I just used more of the other cheeses. I also added oregano, basil and red pepper flakes. It was delicious.
This was pretty quick to make and turned out great! I did use Italian Sausage instead of ground beef and added 1/2 onion.
I am a big Italian food fan . I used this receipe to make lasgna. My husband though it was great .
This was okay as it is written. I had to use two 24-ounce jars of pasta sauce in order to have enough. No way is one 16-ounce jar enough unless you like virtually no sauce in your lasagna. The only other change I made was to add an egg to the ricotta cheese to make it a bit easier to spread. A decent basic recipe, but if you tweak it a bit based on your own preferences, it becomes a good one.
Too much cheese.
Delicious! I left out the garlic clove and instead added Adobo and garlic powder. I added brown sugar and a little water to my sauce – (used 2 jars). In addition I added parmesan cheese an egg to the cheese mixture as a viewer suggested. I adjusted the cheese to my liking ( a little more). Best Lasagna I ever made! Thanks for sharing!
Followed this recipe to the T except I didn’t have ricotta cheese but I did have plenty of cottage cheese. I would have to say this recipe is great except it needs at least double the cheese and sauce and half the meat.
The recipe is all right, but I made a few changes. I used ground Italian (mild) sausage and sautéed the garlic and onions before browning it. There was not enough sauce. 16oz. didn’t cut it. I would use at least 32oz. I also will add more meat next time, possible 1lb of beef in addition to the sausage.
Great simple recipe, however the recipe was not in proportion… The sauce/cheese/meat combination was in short. I was afraid it would be so, however I did an additional layer with sour cream and cottage cheese and turned out perfect. Would highly suggest that this be updated so that it reflex the proper amounts of sauce and meat.
Needs a little more sauce and cheese throughout. Pretty good though.
I think this is an easy recipe, but adding salsa to the sauce really spices up the sauce. I use salsa whenever I use red sauce
Very easy and cheap to make , two thumbs up from me .
i just did this recipe an found that i needed more then just 1 pound of beef i needed 2 at least as the 1 pound only made enough for 1 layer which then made me waste a lot of cheese, i just hope it turns out good 🙂
Love it!!! I am terrible with the whole lasagna thing so I just add all the ingredients and then layer but its still AMAZING!
Best, easiest, cheapest lasagna ever! I have made several versions of lasagna, and this is the only one that my whole family goes back for seconds and thirds of (even my very picky 6yo). I found it helpful to double the recipe (except the noodles) to make it fill my 9×13 pan.
Great recipe! My 16 year old son made it so super easy. We also added an egg to the ricotta mixture along with some fresh oregano & basil. Will make it again but maybe try the oven ready lasagna noodles next time! Thanks for a quick yet easy lasagna recipe!
