I really like recipes like this because you can try out flavors that you may not think to combine naturally. I think my favorite part is that you use all natural ingredients in the dish like the apple cider vinegar to add flavor in layers. I think I could sneak a little chopped spinach to this recipe too. Have you ever tried to sneak any other veggies into this dish?

I'm not sure if I enjoyed this recipe or not. I'm not a fan of sloppy Joes and this casserole had a borderline-sloppy Joe flavor (because the sauce was more sweet than smoky). That being said, I liked the combination of the sauce and the pasta.

Called "White Trash Lasagna"by The Casserole Connection. Crass, as the name is BBQ Lasagna...Guess The Casserole Connection hates Southerners. No comments about the recipe. Haven't tried yet.

"White trash" is a popular, trending name for food and is not intended to reflect poorly upon any group of people. Sorry for the harm this may have caused, as it was unintentional.

The term "White Trash" is not a regional indictment. I am a Southerner who has lived all over the country have frequently heard the term used NEVER was it used to insult the South or Southerners. You are oversensitive seeing things that simply aren't there.
