This is meatless spinach lasagna it was really really good. Very cheesy. No red sauce. It is a little time consuming so I think its better for a weekend meal instead of during the week. It also calls for no bake lasagna noodles that I dont use because I dont like the taste of them- which of corse adds to the time but I think its worth it. It makes a huge amount and is perfect for a big family meal or lots of left overs for the week. I dont have 'play by play' pics just the finished product...

This was so delicious and easy. Kids loved it. You could probably switch up the toppings and sauced and switch out the ingredients for peanut butter chips and choc syrup. Or butterscotch chips and choc syrup.
2 cups quick cooking oats (i think you can use regular cooking oats and it wont matter)
3/4 cup oil
1 egg
12 oz jar caramel ice cream topping
1 cup choc chips
-Combine cake mix oil egg and oats. spread half (its really more like 3/4 of it unless you use a smaller dish. i used a greased metal 13x9 pan)
-Drizzle w caramel topping choc chips and nuts if desired
Crumble remaining cake mix on top bake at 350 for 28-30 min cut into squares
- possible variations peanut butter chips. butterscotch chips. white chips. dried cranberries. Graham cracker crumbs and marshmallows and choc chips? why not
Enjoy ! this was quick and easy and a delicious after school snack. Yum
