MEGHAN'S EASY LASAGNA



Meghan's Easy Lasagna image

Very easy, flavorful lasagna - a real crowd pleaser! Great for leftovers because it tastes even better the next day - as a matter of fact, you can make it ahead of time and just reheat it. You can also substitute the beef with ground turkey and go with low-fat cheeses - still tastes great.
