Mom's Lasagna

Growing up, this is the lasagna Mom made. When it was our birthday, we could pick whatever meal we wanted for dinner, and this was always the most popular. Like any good lasagna, it's full of cheese, noodles and meat sauce. Yum!!

This lasagna is fantastic served with a green salad and Parmesan Garlic Bread or Parmesan Garlic Bread Sticks.
