This is my very favorite lasagna to make and it is my familyās 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 youāre 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!
