Lasagna Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef (NOTE: I used 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (NOTE: I used fresh garlic)
1 (8 ounce) package lasagna noodles
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup ricotta or small curd cottage cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 to 4 slices mozzarella cheese, halved diagonally (NOTE: I used shredded mozzarella)
NOTE: I also added 1.5 Tablespoons of sugar to my meat mixture.
Step 1
Brown ground beef in oil in a large skillet, stirring to crumble; drain off pan drippings. Stir tomatoes, tomato paste, and seasonings into meat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Cook noodles according to package directions; drain.
Step 3
Place half of noodles in a lightly greased 12 x 8x 2-inch baking dish, slightly overlapping lengthwise edges. Spoon one-third of meat mixture over noodles; add half of shredded mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and spoon on remaining meat mixture. Arrange mozzarella slices on top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
