Lasagna - A Classic Westra Dinner


July 29th is National LASAGNA Day ... did you know that? 
Did you know there WAS a lasagna day?

Jen never ended up eating lasagna - but she still makes it for her family and they are happy when she does. It's a classic Westra recipe. Now, it's just as easy to make multiple lasagnas as it is to make one, so double (or even triple) the recipe. The completed lasagnas freeze well for future dinners, or make them in disposable pans to give away. 




1 lb hamburger
1 package lasagna noodles
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2/3 cup milk
1/2 tsp Italian seasonings
Tbls Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 lb mozzarella or jack cheese
1/2 lb cheddar cheese
2 8oz cans of tomato sauce
Parmesan cheese

Brown the hamburger and drain. Cook the noodles as directed and drain. Combine the soup, milk, onion, W.sauce, seasonings and salt. Add cooked meat. In a 8x11 baking pan, start with a layer of noodles. Spread meat sauce mixture evenly over the noodles. Top with a layer of both cheeses. Drizzle tomato sauce over the cheese and top with Parmesan. Repeat the layers one or two more times. Cover with tin foil and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
