Dear Uncle Phaedrus,

I'm a pretty good searcher myself but have yet to come up with this recipe from 
the mid seventies. It was called Chili Lasagna and was published in a women's 
magazine sometime between 1974-1981. My best guess is 1975 as I don't think I 
had children yet, but I could be wrong. The recipe called for several different 
cheeses but no ricotta or cottage cheese and a healthy amount of chili powder 
(1/4 cup)? I have tried to re-create it but I am doing something wrong. 
The magazines I read at that time were Women's Day, Family Circle, and Good 
Housekeeping. I have tried all of their current websites and came up empty. 
Hope you can help, my husband still talks about that lasagna and I would love 
to make it for him.

almost forgot, the recipe did not include anything like chili beans, or canned 
chili of any sort. Those recipes I have found hundreds of.

Thank you for your efforts,

Jeanne
