The creamy Stroganoff-like filling in this distinctive lasagna makes it a stick-to-your-ribs entree.
1-1/2 lb ground beef or turkey
2 cans (15 oz. each) tomatoe sauce
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
1/4 cup milk
18 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
Minced fresh parsley, optional
In a skillet, cook beef or turkey; drain. Stir in tomatoe sauce, onion, sugar, salt, Worchestershire sauce and garlic salt. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream and milk until smooth. In a greased 13x9x2 inch baking dish, layer a forth of the meat sauce, six noodles and a third of cream cheese mixture. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining sauce. Cover and bake at 350 for 40 mins. Uncover and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake 5 mins. longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 15 mins. before cutting. Sprinkle with parsley.

Good composition, color and arrangement. Looks very appealing. The closest corner of the lasagna holder is out of focus to the point of being a distraction to the viewer. Soft focus in the foreground of an image is always tricky. Looking at the front cover of a Denny's menu, which unfortunately they do not show on their website, you see a good example of a foods picture with soft focused foreground. Your image would be even better than it is if you applied about the same amount of foreground soft focus as the Denny's image has.
DOF seems a little shallow unless that was your intention. A little different crop with more focus on your dish and less background distractions. Your lighting is excellent. The orange cheese and the blue mat are very complimentary.
I appreciate the work you went through to set this up - the details really add to this. I think a little higher POV to show more of the surface of the food might highlight the food more - great work though
That lasagna looks delicious. The table settings take your attention away too much from the main subject. I realize that this is shallow DOF, but I'm having a hard time finding the focus anywhere.
