 Beef Lasagna

Instructions

In a stock pot, start with some oil and sauté your onions. Once their translucent then add in your beef along with all of your seasonings for the sauce. 

Brown the beef, and then drain if necessary, then add in all of your tomato and wet ingredients for your sauce.

Let your sauce simmer for about 20 mins while you work on the next step

If you have the lasagna noodle that you need to pre boil you can do that now. Otherwise use the no boil ones, or fresh.

In a bowl combine everything you need to make your ricotta cheese filling.

Then get a 13x9 pan, start with your home made sauce in the bottom, then a layer of noodles, then a layer of your ricotta, then a sprinkle of mozzarella & parmesan cheese. Then your next layer will be sauce and start the process all over again until you run out of everything. (Note you may have extra sauce left over. That's good for topping later on.)

Then bake at 350 F for 1 hour over a making sheet until bubbling, and you can put a knife down the middle with ease.

Let rest for about 20-30 mins and then enjoy!
