Al Brown's Lasagna
This was the first meal i cooked and served to company about 25 years ago. i got the recipe originally from better homes & gardens in 1978 from an article about men who cook. this lasagna intrigued me since it was the first time i had thought about lasagna without a tomato based sauce. this freezes well. i have used both white and orange colored cheddar for this. i don't remember who al brown was but thanks al brown, where ever you are!!
