Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Bisque Lasagna

Posted by angeladawn1220 on

I have your perfect weekend dinner idea to indulge in as we’re settling into the thick of comfort food season! I came up with this crazy idea to use TJ’s Pumpkin Bisque as the base for an autumn style lasagna and it couldn’t have been any better! The amount of times Carl said “Wow” as he was eating this is well above 10! I lost count. LOL! The richness of the bisque, paired with the Italian sausage along with fresh mushrooms and spinach was on another level of D to the LISH! A 45 minute bake time is all that stands between you and this perfect pan of pumpkin comfort! Pair with a bright green salad and some garlic knots for a full meal.

Notes

  • If you choose to use Spicy Italian sausage, you can omit the crushed red pepper as you won’t need the additional heat. Unless your taste buds have no feeling, then feel free to go inferno! Lol!
