Ingredients
- 9 lasagna noodles no boil noodles, ready for the oven noodles
- 2 pounds ground beef lean
- 1 medium onion diced, white
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 cups four cheese pasta sauce
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
- 5 cups mozzarella cheese mixed & shredded
- 5 cups cheddar cheese mixed & shredded
Instructions
- In a large frying pan, fry up the ground beef and onions together until the ground beef is no longer pink and the onions are soft and translucent.
- Drain the excess grease and add in the garlic. Sautee until the garlic is browned.
- Stir in the sauce and the water, remove from heat.
- Combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese in a medium bowl.
- In a 9x13 baking pan, spread about 1/3 of the meat and sauce mixture on the bottom. Lay three noodles on top.
- Spread 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture on top of the noodles evenly. Top with a cup of mixed cheese.
- Lay another 3 noodles on top. Spread out another 1/3 of the sauce on top of the noodles. Spread another 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture on top, followed by a cup of mixed cheese.
- Lay the last 3 noodles on top, followed by the last 1/3 of the sauce mixture and the last 1/3 of the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle with another 2-3 cups of the mixed cheese. ( I like a seriously good layer of cheese on top!)
- Cover and bake in 350 °F oven for 45-50 minutes until the noodles are soft.
- If you like, remove the cover and bake the cheese on top for another 5-10 minutes to get it slightly crispy around the edges.
- Remove, let sit for 10 minutes and then slice and serve.
