"This isn't any ordinary lasagna. Oh no, this is Grandma's Favorite Lasagna! She knows what's up, too, because there are no other recipes that can compare to the herby tomato sauce that's loaded with not one, but two kinds of meats! That hearty concoction comes together brilliantly stacked between the creamy, cheesy filling and bouncy noodles. Sprinkled with a bunch more cheese, Grandma's Favorite Lasagna is yummy proof you should never question her when it comes to food!..."
