I started making dinner tonight with something else in mind....but halfway through browning up the meat and cooking some noodles I realized "huh, how bout some lasagna." Made this recipe up off the top of my head with some things I had in the fridge. Easy and Yummy!
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 1/2 Jars spaghetti sauce
1 (15ounce) Tub ricotta cheese
1 Egg
2 - 2 1/2 Cups shredded cheese (I used mozzarella)
1/2 Tbsp italian seasoning
12 Lasagna noodles
Directions:
*Cook your meat in a pan on the stove. Drain grease out when done.
*Cook your lasagna noodles in a big pot of water until almost done.
*Empty your meat into a large bowl. Add your ricotta cheese, egg, and 2 cups of shredded cheese into the meat. Stir well. Add half a cup or so of spaghetti sauce to the meat mixture. Stir well.
*Take two paper towels and put them onto the counter on top of one another.
*When the noodles are done, empty the boiling water out, then cool them off with cold water to lower the temperature to a temperature that is easy to pick the noodles up with your hands.
*Put a noodle onto the paper towel and dry it off.
*Spray a 9x13 dish with baking spray. Pour a small bit of spaghetti sauce into the bottom so the noodles don't stick.
*Move the dried noodle to the dish. Put another two dried noodle beside it.
*Pour 1/3 of the meat mixture over the noodles and move it around to cover all of the noodles.
*Dry off 3 more noodles and layer them on top of the meat mixture.
*Repeat the sauce step with another 1/3 of the sauce.
*Noodles, then remaining meat mixture, then 3 more noodles.
*Pour the remaining spaghetti sauce onto the top of the noodles. Cover with shredded cheese.
*Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil.
*Bake at 375*F for 45 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 10 of those minutes.
