A tale of two lasagnas

I have never made a lasagna before. The other day we were having what was it, ah yes, chicken sausage spaghetti for dinner. I thought those sausages would make a fine lasagna, and today I have proven that they indeed do.

At Costco, there is a particular brand of what, fire roasted pepper chicken sausage. They're great. I normally eschew chicken or turkey sausage products, but this one is different. Anyhow, it's great. So I got six sausages and fried 'em up with a small onion. I had some "Aribiatta" spaghetti sauce, from Carrs. That would be "Safeway" for you not-in-Alaska folks. Okay, yeah, at Costco I had a huge bag of mozzarella cheese.

I boiled up a package of lasagna noodles, only to discover there were a lot more noodles in the box than I needed for a single pan. Oops. Oh well! Heh heh heh. So I took those sausages and cut 'em up into little bits, fried with the onion, and well, I had a big aluminum pan of lasagna built. While layering it, I ran out of sauce with just a bit more needed. I had to open up a jar of four-cheese tomato sauce, and well, with so much sauce in an open jar, I decided it was time to take it to the next level.

I whipped out a couple frozen Bar-S Hot Links, which are the best, I think. From the freezer to the microwave, to the frying pan, and into a little 9x9" baking dish as an impromptu Hot Link Lasagna

SO 45 minutes at 375. F., and out they come. Ah, we haven't had lasagna in probably a year and a half, and now we got two different lasagnas, neither being of the common variety. Dinner was served and we ate well! I've got to say, I think the Hot Link Lasagna is slightly better than the Chicken Sausage Lasagna, but that's like really really great versus just really great. We at way too much of it. Now if I only had some of that butter mochi...
