Lasagna

This is a combination of a couple recipes and tweaked them a little. You can use any sauce or brand, these are just what we use. You can also use a bigger pan. This is what we came up with so I hope you like it.

Ingredients:
1 lb. hamburger (could substitute Italian sausage for all of half of this)
1 package Barilla over ready lasagna noodles (traditional noodles can be used as well, just cook according to box directions)
1 container ricotta chesse (you'll use half)
1 can Hunts spaghetti sauce
1 package sliced mozzarella cheese
1 package Kraft Italian blend shredded cheese
salt
pepper
garlic salt
aluminum foil

Preheat oven to 350

1 - In a frying pan brown hamburger (season with a pinch of salt and pepper) and drain grease.
2 - In saucepan heat spaghetti sauce, add sprinkle of garlic salt, add browned hamburger
3 - In 9x9 baking pan cover bottom of pan with lasagna noodles. You may need to break an inch or so off for them to fit properly.
*you'll be doing 2 layers, so don't use all of each ingredient for the following steps*
4 - Cover the lasagna noodles with ricotta cheese. We have found a wooden spoon to work best.
5 - Spread some spaghetti sauce/hamburger mixture over the cheese.
6 - Using mozzarella slices cover the sauce/hamburger mixture.
7 - Sprinkle Italian cheese blend of mozzarella.
8 - Place another layer of lasagna noodles.
Repeat steps 4 - 7 using the rest of each ingredient.

Lasagna should be very close to the top of the pan. Cover with foil leaving the center bubbled up a bit to help reduce cheese from sticking.

Bake lasagna for 35 minutes @ 350. Remove from oven, take foil off and return to oven for 10 minutes (45 minutes total). This is optianal, you can just bake for a straight 45 covered, uncovered for 10 will just add a little "crust" to the cheese on top.
Let cool for about 10 minutes. This is a good time to make your garlic bread if you choose.

This usually lasts the 2 of us a couple days.
