This Bubble Up Lasagna Bake is a fun twist on an old favorite and a great way to get the sauce, cheesy, meaty flavors you love without prep time and layering. My husband loved this one, though I have to make his without mushrooms – it still tastes great! Better yet, a generous, filling serving of this casserole is only 335 calories or 8 WW Points.
