Please don't get me wrong on my four stars. I did find this recipe to be very good. I do not understand how people on here can give a recipe 5 stars when you made so many changes to the recipe. That make no sense at all. Also, this is not the best ever, mine is, lol. I made this recipe to the t with a few minor exceptions. I used fresh herbs, basil & oregano. I also allowed the sauce to cook for five hours only because I make sauce from scratch and always cook it long. The longer you cook it the better. Then I let it sit over night in fridge. Another thing I did was using 3/4 mozzarella and 1/4 sharp cheddar on each level. Cheddar gives it such a great flavor. My partner saw me making the gravy and said "Why you going through all that? Your lasagna is better anyway. When I make my lasagna I use a good jarred tomato gravy and just beef, no sausage. I also doubled the garlic because we love garlic. So I really only made was, fresh herbs not dried, cook sauce longer, use double garlic and some cheddar cheese. And still it is not the best lasagna and next time I will use the recipe here for the sauce but eliminate the sausage.Oh there was another thing I did because of everyone's suggestions. The box for my noodles said cook ten minutes, so I cooked them for only five. So they where only slightly cooked and came out fine. You should always try a recipe to the t with no changes before you give it a rating of five stars.

I had an abundance of peppers and tomatoes from my garden & needed to find something to do with them. So I thought of stuffed peppers which I have not had since my grandmother made them 25 years ago. I'm not really a big fan of peppers or tomatoes but gave this a whirl. So Glad I did. OMG. So Good. I did listen to others comments and was sure to boil peppers first. I cooked the rice first in beef broth and set aside. I added 4 big cloves of garlic, paprika, ground pepper and fresh oregano and basil from my garden. Cooked that together with beef. I also put cheddar cheese in the bottom of each pepper. I used my own tomatoes which were boiled, skinned and de-seeded. I also topped them off with mozzerella cheese, only because I ran out of cheddar. I doubled the Worcestershire and only used one can of tomato soup. I also poured some of the sauce in the pepper, then filled them half way, added more sauce. Then I finished topping them, more sauce and cheese on top. My partner saw me putting in tomatoes and had a fit because he hates them. I told him to get out of the kitchen. Well he came back for seconds as did I. Two people that don't care for peppers or tomatoes loved them. So Good. Next time I will add more garlic, salt, pepper and fresh herbs for a bit more flavor.

Such a fabulous recipe. I usually make boxed scalloped potatoes but my partner complained when I told him we were having that for dinner with chicken cutlets. He said "You always make them." well I love em so this time I decided to come on all recipes and check my recipe box and came across this. I had all the ingredients. I did change a few things. I only used two cups of milk because I thought it would be too watery. I used a little less flour then the recipe calls for beings I cut back the milk. That was a great change. I also added powdered garlic beings I put garlic in everything. And I used sharp grated cheddar cheese because processed cheese sounded disgusting and we love cheddar. So glad I did that. I used my slicer and sliced potatoes really thin. And I topped it all off with cheddar cheese before putting it in the oven. We were in a rush so I only cooked it for 45 minutes at 400 and that was fine. Never will do boxed again. This was so easy to do and so worth the time and effort. The only thing I will change next time is I will layer it. I will place one level of potatoes with a little sauce, more potatoes and so on. The sauce did not get all the way through the potatoes so thius is why I will level it. Never use processed American, use cheddar if you are a cheddar person like we are. My partner loved these and did not complain one bit about having scalloped potatoes again. He even went back for seconds, Lol. A must try recipe for everyone.
