Simple Down Home Lasagna
(Oops, I forgot to take a finished product picture.) I adapted one of my favorite, and simple, lasagna recipes to work with the Down Home Spaghetti Sauce. We gave it a try and it was just as delicious. And the great part is that it is so simple! Well, that is after the spaghetti sauce cooks for hours!
If you don’t have time to make the spaghetti sauce or you don’t have a batch in your freezer (shame on you) then you most certainly could substitute your favorite jarred sauce in equal amounts.
