    Wonderful recipe! I've made this a couple times now and my family all loves it. I also got 2 casseroles out of the recipe & froze one for a later date. The spaghetti sauce takes a bit of time to make but I think it's well worth it. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us. :)

    Amys Lasagna-Style Casserole, This quick version of lasagna is bursting with flavor and easy to make The Italian sausage and pepperoni add to this dish by giving it a pizza-like flavor Feel free to use any jarred pasta sauce, or wow your tastebuds with my Grandma Shannon’s Spaghetti Sauce recipe below! Enjoy!, Wonderful recipe! I’ve made this a couple times now and my family all loves it I also got 2 casseroles out of the recipe & froze one for a later date The spaghetti sauce takes a bit of time to make but I think it’s well worth it Thanks for sharing the recipe with us :), Great recipe It was much quicker than layering lasagna noodles My picky son even ate it used ricotta instead of cottage cheese and did not add the red pepper flakes I actually got 2 casseroles out of the recipe so I froze one for another day Thanks for the great casserole idea
