Lasagna

I have made this recipe for the past 50 years. It freezes well either before or after it is made. This is my husband’s favorite meal. Hope you enjoy it too.

This can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen—remember to adjust your cooking time.

**Hint- after baking freeze in individual pieces for a quick dinner!

Serve with a beautiful green salad and garlic bread for a delicious meal!
