Bremer Family Lasagna with Meat Sauce

EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2026. 

Aldi sells lasagna noodles during the winter season if you want to make the classic comfort dish from scratch. Or, you can find various frozen lasagnas at the discount grocer. Some frozen lasagnas are sold all the time at Aldi, and others are limited-time specials that rotate in and out.

In the Regular Buy freezer at Aldi, you’ll find Bremer Family Size Lasagna. The lasagna box describes it as “freshly made pasta layered between rich meat sauce and topped with real mozzarella cheese.”

This 38-oz. lasagna sold for $5.79 in 2026. That’s around 15 cents per ounce. There are about 4.5 servings per package, which comes out to about $1.29 per serving.

Heating Instructions:

The lasagna should be kept frozen until ready to use. Don’t thaw it and don’t refreeze it.

You have two ways to prepare the Bremer lasagna: conventional oven (recommended) or microwave oven.

To prepare in a conventional oven, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove the heat-safe tray from the carton. Leave the film on the tray. Do not vent the film. Place the tray on a cooking sheet in the center of the oven. Cook for 50-55 minutes. Then, remove the film and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until fully cooked. Carefully remove from the oven and let the lasagna stand for 10 minutes. Check that the lasagna is cooked thoroughly; internal temperature needs to reach 165 degrees as measured by a food thermometer in several spots.

To prepare in a 770-watt microwave, remove the heat-safe tray from the carton and place the tray on a microwave-safe plate. Do not remove the film. Microwave on high power (100% power) for 10-15 minutes. Carefully peel off the film cover to vent, and continue microwaving on high for 10 minutes or until fully cooked. Let stand for 10 minutes. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the microwave-safe plate with the lasagna tray from the microwave. Use a food thermometer to check that the product is cooked thoroughly; internal temperature should reach 165 degrees as measured by a food thermometer in several spots.

Remember to recycle the outer box after you prepare this lasagna.

Our Thoughts:

I baked this in the oven, and it was plenty hot after the recommended cooking time.

The sauce did not fully cover all the noodles when I initially unpackaged the frozen lasagna. Before the final 10 minutes of baking, I tried to spoon some of the sauce over the uncovered noodles. It helped some, but the sauce was still more sparse on that end of the tray, and the edges of the noodles were a bit dry.

That aside, my family enjoyed this lasagna. It doesn’t taste like homemade. It doesn’t have a lot of meat. It has a modest amount of cheese. It doesn’t hold together when you cut it into slices. Still, we thought it tasted good. The noodles are thick and hearty, and the sauce is flavorful.

The Verdict:

The Regular Buy frozen Bremer Family Size Lasagna with Meat Sauce at Aldi is a cheap, tasty dinner. It’s easy to heat up in a conventional oven in a little more than an hour. The family-size description is maybe a bit generous, as it only feeds about four people. It doesn’t compare to homemade lasagna, but we think it tastes good. Serve with a salad for a complete meal.
