My Mom's 'Sunday Night' Lasagne Recipe

When my brothers and I were little one of our favourite meals was lasagne. My Mom did not make it very often so I think that made it all the more special Nowadays it is pretty easy to just buy a pan of frozen lasagne from the grocery store. It is convenient, usually cheaper than buying all the ingredients but there is NO way it is tastier!! Recently I took the time to make lasagne on a cold Sunday and boy did it taste good. It reminded me of why its a good idea to make homemade lasagne every now and then!

**I had some extra shredded mozzarella in my fridge so I added it onto the top of the lasagne, making it nice and cheesy!
