EASY Lasagna

Is it sad to say that I use this blog all the time. I have gotten so used to a few of the recipes that I forget they weren't mine to begin with...ha! I also can not believe that there wasn't a lasagna recipe on here and as I was looking at past recipes I was inspired to keep using this blog and try some of the other recipes I haven't used at all or in a while. It is such a good reminder of dinner ideas! Love y'all! Keep posting! This is not my recipe but we are going to try it out!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 4 cups tomato-basil pasta sauce
  • 6 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 2 1/2 cups (10 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup hot water

Preparation

Cook beef in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink; drain. Stir in pasta sauce.

Spread one-third of meat sauce in a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish; layer with 3 noodles and half each of ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese. (The ricotta cheese layers will be thin.) Repeat procedure; spread remaining one-third of meat sauce over mozzarella cheese. Slowly pour 1/4 cup hot water around inside edge of dish. Tightly cover baking dish with 2 layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil.

Bake at 375° for 45 minutes; uncover and bake 10 more minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
