Michelles Most Delicious Lasagna
- 2 pounds Ground Beef (I Use An 80/20)
- 1/2 Yellow Onion, Diced
- 3 teaspoons Italian Seasoning, Divided
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
- 2 jars (24 Oz. Size) Marinara Sauce (I Use Ragu)
- 1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Butter, To Coat The Bottom Of The Baking Dish
- 1 box (9 Oz. Size) Barilla "No Boiling Required" Lasagna Noodles
- 1- 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
- 1- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack Cheese, Shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, Freshly Grated
- In a large skillet brown the ground beef with the onions, seasoned with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- When the ground beef is browned, add the sauce, remaining 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, and granulated garlic.
- Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
- Taste to see if it needs more salt and pepper.
- Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Butter the bottom and sides of a 9 x 12 disposable heavy duty tin pan or a 9 x 13 deep dish baking dish.
- (I use the tin pan for easy cleanup).
- Put a couple of ladlefuls of sauce in the bottom of the baking dish to give it a thin even layer.
- Next place the pasta noodles in a row, covering the bottom, breaking pieces to fit the whole bottom.
- I change directions of the noodles each layer so that I have a sturdier lasagna.
- Ladle a couple of spoonfuls of sauce over the pasta (approximately 1-1/2 cups).
- Next sprinkle 13 of the mozzarella, Monterey Jack, and the Parmesan on top of the meat.
- Repeat 2 more times until all the sauce and cheese is used up.
- Place the baking dish on a baking sheet and bake uncovered for 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
- Serves 8-10.
- Enjoy!
