Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 cup Onion, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 15 ounces Tomato sauce
• 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes, undrained
• 6 ounces Tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 9 pieces Lasagna noodles, uncooked
• 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 4 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and sugar. Simmer the sauce over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, and 2 cups of the shredded mozzarella cheese until well combined.

Step 5

Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

Place 3 uncooked lasagna noodles over the sauce layer. Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles. Top with 1 cup of the meat sauce and sprinkle with 3/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

Repeat the layers (noodles, ricotta mixture, meat sauce, mozzarella) two more times, ending with a meat sauce layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the top layer with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, making sure it doesn’t touch the cheese, and bake for 40 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
