Noodle-less Lasagna
Or a gloried meatloaf. It was more or less a cross between the two.
It was our dinner last night. And it was tasty!
Share-worthy, in fact. So share I will….

This dish does take quite a while to cook in the oven, but it’s great when you’re having company over so you don’t have to fuss over last minute details in the kitchen while your guests sit in the living room. Plus, it served 4 of us (most of which are hefty eaters).
