This is the lasagna my mom made while I was growing up, and it's still my favorite. I think she originally got the recipe off an old box of Mueller's lasagna noodles.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
3/4 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons olive oil
16 ounces diced tomatoes
12 ounces tomato paste
2 cups water
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
16 ounces ricotta cheese
16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
12 ounces lasagna noodles
Directions:
1. Brown together beef, onion, and olive oil; drain fat and return to saucepan.
2. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, water, and spices; mix well.
3. Let mixture simmer while you are cooking the lasagna noodles.
4. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions.
5. Spread about 1/2 cup sauce in bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
6. Spread a single layer of noodles over the sauce.
7. Add more sauce to cover noodles.
8. Spread 1/3 cup Ricotta over sauce.
9. Sprinkle 1/4 cup mozzarella over Ricotta.
10. Repeat layers until all ingredients used, ending with mozzarella.
11. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45-50 minutes or until cheese is bubbbly and browning.
