This was fantastic! I was really skeptical of how it would all taste in the end, but I was oh so pleasantly surprised! My husband who likes meat at every meal enjoyed this as well with no complaints whatsoever. I have made this twice now and counting. Although it didnt specify, I used no boil lasagna noodles since there was no step which actually said to "boil lasagna noodles, set aside." Came out just right. Jesus bless you for this recipe. This is one of my personal favorites. And yes, the red bell peppers really make it stand out from others. Thanks again, praise Jesus!

This is an easy and delicious meal. The red peppers give it a nice little kick.

Wonderful Recipe! Unfortunately I only had frozen spinach, but it still came out tasting great (if a bit runny). I also added some broccoli and onion and was pleased. Overall I'm impressed with how easy maintenance this recipe is. Thanks for sharing!

This is a nice simple recipe that can be adapted easily. I added broccoli and carrots and the next time I make it I'll probably add different veggies to compliment the spinach and mushrooms. It freezes well too!
