This was good, but needed a little kicking up for my husband, so I used real onions, chopped, and added some cooked bacon and small chopped mushrooms for a "bacon mushroom burger" lasagna. More cheese too. I agree with needing more liquid for uncooked or no-boil noodles though, definately.

An interesting twist on lasagna and hamburgers! I would recommend using more tomato sauce (as a personal preference) if using uncooked noodles as they soaked up a lot of liquid. Thanks for sharing!

I am a recently married girl going on woman who finds zen in cooking, and making my DH happy. I live in Baltimore city, and work on and off at a local canine bakery, and seasonly at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. I want to be a writer, but we will see. I don't have a favorite cook book as of yet, but I imagine it will be the one my mother is writing. I am having her put down on paper all of the recipes she made for us growing up. <br> <br>My passions are animals and old people, the care and treatment of both. Good books, and good movies, and really bad B horror. I love to sing, and have vocal training, but no aspirations to be an american idol. My family, my animals, and my husband. <br> <br>My biggest pet peeves are willful ignorance, the mistreatment of animals and old people, bad politicians, and my mother in law. :)
