I love lasagna, but my homemade lasagna takes a lot of time to make. This Meatball Lasagna was ready to bake by the time the oven had preheated. Easy and super delicious! We loved this! It was great for dinner, but I think it was even better reheated for lunch the next day. All you need is a few garlic rolls and a salad for a fabulous weeknight meal. This would be great for a potluck too. It makes a ton!
