Yeah, old post/thread…but THANKS! This is the first “from scratch” sauce/gravy recipe I learned; I’ve tweaked it this way and that since the early '80s, and just tonight got hung up on over-thinking the basics after not making it for so long. Surely, any other site with a basic recipe could have helped jog my memory, but this one from Mueller’s noodles is what I craved. xo ---

> [@dropzone](#): > > This is another of those threads that make me ask: You have an understanding of the basics of cooking, you know what you are making, you have an idea how it should taste, you made it off and on for 30 years, so why do you need a written recipe? Ye gods and little fishes, it’s like people who need precise measurements instead of, “Oh, about yea much,” or people who are flummoxed by “season to taste.” 😛 If you think people ask for recipes because of precise measurements or an inability to taste their own cooking you are missing the point. Food is part of everyone’s history and culture. Sharing food is one of the most beautiful things we can do for each other. Maybe someone is a good cook, or a novice, or even an excellent cook, but there is nothing wrong with asking for help. Maybe, just maybe, capturing that taste of home needs a bit of help along the way. It’s Christmas Eve, and I’m damn grateful for the folks who posted here. Now, I’m gonna go finish my lasagna! Thank y’all and Merry Christmas! ---

Since somebody else bumped this thread, _was_ the Mueller’s OLD Lasagna Recipe actually posted upthread? If so, which one? ---

Thank you! I cut this recipe off the box some 30ish years ago. I lost it quite a few years ago as well. I’ve done numerous google searches for it but only found the short cut versions…until today! Thank you for posting! It’s dinner tonite for my son and his wife. It’s his favorite of mom’s cooking and the only lasagna my daughter in law will eat. ---

Not realizing I had posted in this thread in Dec 2016, I checked in today because I thought that Bob Mueller, in addition to indicting Russians, decided to share his family’s lasagna recipe. Never mind. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/muellers-old-lasagna-recipe-do-you-have-it/55017.md?page=2)
