Cheesy Delicious Lasagna

Cheesy Delicious Lasagna

This is my very favorite lasagna to make and it is my familyā€™s favorite to eat. It is cheesy, creamy, and full of a homemade tomato/meat sauce. While the sauce is easy to make it does take an hour to simmer, so keep that in mind before you get started. Lasagna is also a little time consuming to put together, but it is SO worth it. If youā€™re up to it double the sauce and make two lasagnas at the same time and freeze one for later. I hope you enjoy this family favorite recipe!
