Lasagna Lasagne time!!!

No matter if you spell it with an A or an E -- lasagna or lasagne is always yummy!!!  We are not fans of ricotta cheese so this recipe doesn't include any (add it in if you like it and make it yours!)

Here is what you will need:
1 Box of Lasagna Noodles (cooked per the instructions on the box)
2 Jars of your favorite sauce (I use Classico Sweet Tomato Basil)
1 to 2 pounds of Ground Beef - check out Zaycon Foods for fresh from the farm 93/7 ground beef
Garlic Salt
Oregeno
Italian Seasoning
Sliced or Shredded Mozzerella Cheese (I prefer sliced but shredded will do!!!)
Sliced Provolone Cheese

Put the ground meat in a frying pan and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of garlic salt and 1/4 teaspoon of oregeno and 1/4 teaspoon of italian seasoning.  Brown meat and drain if necessary.


Add the two jars of sauce and stir in another teaspoon of garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of oregeno and 1/4 teaspoon of italian seasoning.  You can adjust these amounts to your liking!  Make it yours!!!!  Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer while you are getting the noodles and other ingredients ready!






Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  If you haven't already done so, make the noodles (when they are done boiling you can run them under cold water to make them easier to handle).  In a 9x13 dish put a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom (helps prevent sticking).  Once you have the sauce on the bottom you are going to do the following layers:  1. Noodles.  2.  Sauce.  3.  Cheese.  On the first round you will use one kind of cheese (mozzerella or provolone).  One the second round of noodles, sauce cheese you will use the one you didn't use the first time.  Then just keep putting in the layers and alternating the cheese:



When you get your dish all filled up (or are just about out of sauce)....finish up with sauce on top and then add some cheese to the very top...

Put it in the 350 degree oven for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly!  We were so hugry by the time it came out of the oven that I almost forgot to take the final picture.....
Serve it up with some garlic bread and enjoy!!!
