Notes
Use plant-based beef for a vegetarian no meat option.
Use a combination of beef and sausage meat for more traditional meat blend.
Replace meat with any combination of vegetables.
Replace marinara for alfredo and make a white lasagna.
This can be stored under refrigeration for grab and go options.
Freeze after several days to use later on for longer shelf life.
