Best Lasagna E.V.E.R.

So the Cajun and Creole Cookbook strikes again. Michael has been wanting lasagna, and while I like lasagna, all my lasagnas turn out runny. The sauce is never just right... UNTIL TONIGHT!! This is another one of those recipes, that I have the sneaking suspicion this one is going to be fabulous as leftovers.

The recipe called for 2 lbs of ground beef, but I used 1 lb of ground Turkey, and it was plenty. I don't think it needed a whole other pound and it cuts down on the points!!
