  • “This recipe is great , the meat sauce outstanding, but we would have preferred white sauce asthe cheeses were just to strong, and over powered the meat. Next time we will do white sauce.Thank you very much.”

  • “Our wonderful Pastor and his daughter were at home roughing it while our Pastors wife was in the hospital after a major surgery. Each family signed up for a day that we would take a meal to the Pastors home. I chose this meal as my selection. It was without exception loved by all. In fact, I have passed this website on to all of my friends. Thank you for such an outstanding job on this recipe and the many others that people take the time to send in. They are truly apprecitaed all over the world.Trish from North Dakota”

  • “I made this for my parents 25th anniversary party and it was a huge hit.”

  • “This is the best!”

  • “I love making this recipe. I have been using it for about a year now. The meat sauce is awesome. I omit the mushrooms and salami only because I don’t like either one, but it is a great recipe.”

  • “Very meaty and flavorful. I am wondering what it would be like with more bacon or with sausage. Fairly easy to pull together.”

  • “Bacon makes everything taste better!Thanks for the great recipe.My Fiance’ LOVED it! He thinks I’m awesome for finding a way to put bacon in Lasagna!”

  • “Stodgealicious! Nice and easy to make, great flavors (I sometimes add pork chipolata, in case the bacon, parmesan, soft cheese and salami doesn’t raise the cholesteral enough…), and fantastic the next day too. Not one for the health conscious, but a fantastic guilty pleasure!”

  • “I can’t get enough of this recipe! Its now a family favorite. I always have one tray in the freezer just incase I have unexpected guests- quick to defrost and cook:) Thank u for a delicious and easy recipe!”

  • “I used half ground beef and half sausage and otherwise followed the recipe.What a great, flavorful lasagna!Make sure you let it set for at least 15 minutes after taking it out of the oven, so the lasagna has time to settle and firm up!”

  • “I made this lasagna when my husbands family visited us this past weekend.It was my first attempt at making lasagna!! I’m in the UK and made the mistake of trying to use Continental salami in this receipt – didn’t work, the salami just shrivels.After a bit of a panic, I removed the cooked salami and replaced it with a leek sausage from our local butcher.I also added a bit more garlic, oragano, and red wine to the meat sauce.I took Truebrit’s advice and put the finished dish in the frige for a day to bring out the flavour.I then froze it. When fully defrosted, the lasagna took about 50 minutes to cook.It had a great, home made taste andeverybody – even the kids -had seconds! I will definately make this dish again, but may make a bit more of the egg/cottage cheese/parmasean cheese mixture the next time.This was a good tasting, good looking lasagna!Thanks for the recipe”

  • “I’m not a *huge* red-sauce fan which is why this recipe only got 3 start but whenever I get a craving for lasagna, this will be the recipe I reach for!”

  • “This was a delicious recipe! The salami was a change from most lasagna recipes and added a nice flavor. I did use canadian bacon in place of regular bacon but did use bacon grease when frying the hamburger. I also added 1 can of diced tomatoes seasoned with garlic,basil and oregano and 1 of regular diced tomatoes. I added about 2tsp of green bell pepper also. It turned out very Delicious!! Our company loved it 🙂 Thank you for sharing the recipe!”

  • “This lasagna is the best lasagna I have ever tasted! I have made it probably 10 times now and shared the receipe with several people. I add a little more bacon b/c I love bacon! The Salami really adds to the flavor too.My family gets real excited when I tell them we are having lasagna for dinner.I even once took a friend of mine a pan after surgery and the hubby said “well you can’t very well make the house smell like lasagna and not make one for us tonight!” Needless to say I had to make 2 pans that day.I’m sure that anyone who takes the time to make this dish will not be disappointed! Enjoy!”

  • “This recipe is great.I love that it doesn’t taste like all the other lasagna’s out there.The bacon and salami and such a nice flavor.I can’t wait to make it again.”

  • “This was an excellent lasagna. I used Italian salami instead of Italian sausage and it still tasted fantastic. Thanks!”

  • “This is an excellent lasagna recipe!I think next time I will add some sausage to give it a little extra kick!Teri-NH”
