MORNING LASAGNA

Morning Lasagna image

A filling breakfast lasagna that can be served for brunch, lunch or dinner. A crowd pleaser that has a little something for everyone. Can also be refrigerated or frozen prior to serving; if you choose to do this, add an extra 1/2 cup of milk to the sauce, cook the lasagna a little less, and allow for a longer cooking time.
