Sunday, March 3, 2019

Perhaps next time we might try putting some spinach into the layers, or incorporating ricotta. This is the lasagna J grew up with.

Ingredients
2 9x13 baking pans
2 lbs ground beef
2 boxes lasagna noodles (do not use the "easy" ones)
2 lbs mozzarella
8 oz Parmesan
2 large containers of classic prego sauce (use about 1 1/2)

1. precook ground meat (until brown) and noodles (according to box, al dente)
2. Repeat following steps until pan is full (~4 layers):
• light layer of sauce
• layer of noodles
• layer of sauce
• thin layer of meat
• 1 layer mozzarella
• sprinkle parmesan
3. final layer: noodles + sauce + cheese
4. - Can be refrigerated at this stage (overnight, until needed), or move on to cooking! -
5. preheat oven to 350F
6. cover pan in foil
7. bake for an hour (check at 45 minutes) at 350F

Recipe makes TWO of 9x13 pans-worth!
