I am a Brit and live in USA and that is the most disgusting recipe for lasagna and not even close to anything edible....oh my god, baked beans?.....lasagna is so good just the way it is supposed to be and with some decent ricotta cheese....yikes

I'm an aussie and i agree with therejeanne this is the most disgusting recipe for lasagna. Since when do people put baked beans in lasagna....no this is not right.

Sounds OK to me but I am an oldie who cooks many people of all ages. It is easy and different and I am going to make it tomorrow.

Right, this does sound like something from outa space, just not good enough. Who on earth invented this recipe??

just because a recipe is for kids doesnt mean it should be boring and a load of trash nutritionally.
whoever wrote this recipe needs to look seriously at what their doing, how about encouraging some tasty veges like sweet potato, mushrooms, spinach... anything tastes good to kids in lasagne.

I know one thing for sure - my kids would never eat it

has anyone actually cooked this? i think you'll find that the baked beans will mix with the meat and the minestrone and it's a good way to get your kids to eat beans. Whoever suggested spinach is ridiculous - spinach looks bad in food and is a very obvious taste so i can hardly imagine a kid choosing lasagne with spinach over lasagne with baked beans. don't dis it before you try it i say!
