This is a very tasty, satisfying dish. I make all the time for everyday meals & for parties & get togethers.. My family likes as much as traditional lasagna. I use no bake lasagna noodles, add 4 cloves of garlic to onion mushroom mixture. I use my own homemade sauce which adds the needed seasonings. I skip the additional cheddar cheese at the end.
