Classic Cheesy Lasagna image

This is very good and easy to make. It comes from my 1981 cookbook "Favorite Brand Name Recipes". I have been making this for years. It is a favorite of my family. Please note that I alter some of the ingredients to my taste. I usually add more parsley, oregano, garlic powder, so alter to your taste. Enjoy!

This recipe was way too complicated for me. I ended up giving up and ordering pizza instead.

I followed the recipe exactly but my lasagna didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked it.
