Mom’s Lasagna: Easy 10 Step Recipe

Mom’s lasagna recipe is one that I’m so excited to share with you today. This is an easy 10 step recipe for her wonderful homemade lasagna! Stay tuned to see how you can make this meal for your own family!

I joke that my mom’s 10 step lasagna is why my husband married me. Except…when we got married, I couldn’t make it quite like my mom. Ok, I couldn’t make it like my mom at all.

Now I know, 4 years later, that my brother and husband called it lasagna dip behind my back for the entire first year of our marriage. Thanks, guys.

Apparently the flavor was delicious…texture, not so much. Now that I have perfected my mom’s lasagna, I wanted to share it with ya’ll.
