Lazy Lasagna

Like I've said on here before I have a weakness for lasagna. The only problem I have is that I grew up as a Stouffer's girl and I prefer it to homemade. I search and search for a lasagna that can rival the amazingness that is Stouffer's and this my friends is it! It tastes almost like an exact match!! So easy, so cheap and SO yummy! Both Thing 1 and Thing 2 ate this and enjoyed it. Next time I think I will split it into 2 pans and freeze half for another time. So far my favorite lasagna. 5 out of 5 stars.
