Meat Sauce:.
-
Brown and drain meat.
-
Add all other meat sauce ingredients to pan with meat and simmer, uncovered until thick - about 45 minutes to an hour.
-
Cook noodles. Drain and rinse.
-
Cheese mixture:.
-
Mix together all cheese mixture ingredients in large bowl.
-
Note: If using 9x13 pan, makes 2 layers. If using 8x8 pan, makes 3 layers with left over ingredients. We like a thicker lasagna so I go for the smaller pan and then use left over noodles to make little "lasagna rolls.".
-
Spread small amount of sauce in bottom of pan to help with sticking.
-
Make first layer of noodles. Spread 1/2 (or 1/3) of cheese mixture over noodles. Top with just shy of 1/2 (or 1/3) of meat sauce spread over cheese. Then just shy of 1/2 (or 1/3) of mozzerella over meat.
-
Repeat layers until you run out of cheese mixture or you reach the top of the pan.
-
Layer one final layer of noodles, light layer of sauce and remaining mozzerella cheese.
-
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes.
-
Can be frozen before or after baking.
