Grandma's Best Ever Sour Cream Lasagna
This is my grandma's best lasagna recipe, except I use sour cream instead of ricotta (a trick I picked up from my mother-in-law). She always made it for birthdays and special occasions. This makes a large amount, so I halve it when making it for my boyfriend and myself. It's very cheesy, so sometimes I add a little extra tomato sauce.

Doesn't it feel great to eliminate a step in a classic recipe and have the new one turn out better? I was actually working on something I was going to call "cheesecake souffle," and since I was adding cream cheese to the base, I decided to skip the classic white sauce, and simply smear everything together.
