Easy, Cheesy Homemade Lasagna

Hello, Made from Pinterest readers! It’s Amy from Atta Girl Says back to share a favorite family recipe with you, called Easy, Cheesy Homemade Lasagna. This recipe is pretty special in our family.

This is the homecooked meal my husband served on the night he proposed to me.

Ladies, if you find a man who will cook for you, you’ve found a keeper!

I never knew this before, but apparently my husband did a test run and made a batch of this lasagna ahead of time before he invited me over for the big pop-the-question night. He wanted to make sure the recipe was a winner before he served it to me.

I said, “Yes” when he proposed, so it’s safe to say that the lasagna was a hit.

And it’s still one of my favorite meals — and not just because I don’t have to cook it.

This lasagna is just how we like it — moist, a tad bit spicy and a tad bit sweet and oozing with three different kinds of cheese.

And while for a from-scratch recipe, it’s really easy to put together.

and more sauce…

… and lots and lots of cheese.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!

My hubby is a lot of things, but he’s not a very confident or experienced cook. He has about three or four recipes that he makes on a regular basis, and this is one of them.

And it turns out perfect every time.

He’s made it for many Sunday suppers and family gatherings. Once, he even cooked up a batch for my blogging girlfriends and I after a marathon shopping day.

I told you he was a keeper.

And so is this recipe.
