Loaded Four Cheese and Three meat Lasagna image

I have always believed that a true cook will cook anything, regardless if it is something that she/he eats or not. I am not a fan of Italian foods, but I cook it and people seem to really enjoy it. For a person who isn't into Italian foods, I must say that I really love my Lasagna recipe.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lasagna turned out a complete disaster. I followed the recipe exactly, but the lasagna was burnt and the sauce was watery.

This lasagna was just okay. The sauce was a bit bland, and the cheese was not melted all the way through.
