Garden-Style Beef Lasagna image

Everyone who has tried this fabulous lasagna dish absolutely loves it; rants and raves over it; and asks me for the recipe. People are always surprised that it can be prepared entirely in the microwave. For a change of pace, I like to add a layer of sliced zucchinis. -Micaela Miller, Corinth, Texas

This lasagna was a bit dry. I think it could have used more sauce. However, the flavor was good and the instructions were easy to follow.

The lasagna was good, but it wasn't anything special. I've had better lasagna at other restaurants.

I've made this lasagna several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of beef, cheese, and vegetables is perfect. I usually add a little bit of extra garlic to the sauce for a more robust flavor.
