The taste is nice, definitely like tomatoey stroganoff. I think it probably tastes better the next day after it has had time to firm up a bit more.

I first made this recipe out of my taste of home contest winning book. It is DELICIOUS! I have made it several times and whenever I am in the mood for lasagna, this is the recipe that I go for. I love the cream cheese mixture in this! It makes it so creamy and unique. LOVE IT! I do normally season the sauce mixture real well with more spices and seasonings. But other than that I stick to the recipe! The best lasagna ever! 10 stars!!

This is very good. I deviated from the recipe a bit using my own meat sauce. Loved the cream cheese/sour cream filling as a delightful change from ricotta!
