MUELLER'S QUICK "NO BOIL" CHEESY LASAGNA

This recipe came from the back of a Mueller's noodles box. I love it because it is both delicious and quick! No need to boil the lasagne noodles. Just layer the lasagne and pop it in the oven! You can save even more time by using prepared sauce (see tip at bottom of recipe). This lasagne can be made with or without meat. You can also add more vegetables to boost the healthy quotient!
