My mother made this for our family right after the prize was awarded to the winner. She saw the recipe printed in the newspaper. I prepare this recipe often and my children do for their families as well. I like to add mushrooms to mine, but basically I wouldn't change a thing because it is delicious just the way it is. I have added a few short cuts to help things go a little smoother for those of you who would like to try this recipe. I tear 2 pieces of parchment paper the length of a cookie sheet where I prepare the crescent rolls in advance. I unroll the first package of rolls onto

I have been making this recipe for years and all my adult children request it often. It is a family favorite.

Instead of using sasage and red sauce, you can use vegitables and fat free alfredo sauce for a healthier lasagna

My family loves this!! I use the garlic butter crescent rolls and I use a pound of ground beef rather than sausage. It's delicious and so easy!

To Bond7Girl - These recipes are mainly a guideline! You can tweak it however you need to to make it healthier, tastier, easier for you and your family. I wish people would just stick to reviewing the recipe/explaining how they personalized it instead of complaining about things that they CAN change!!! This recipe is wonderful and easy, btw...
