Simply Lasagna

Ok, so I made this for the first time the other night and shared it with some friends, and they went absolutely CRAZY over it!! It is my all time absolute favorite lasagna recipe!! Not only is it soooo easy, it's cheap too! I usually never want to make lasagna because it's usually more expensive to buy the ingredients for then to buy it frozen - not this one!! So good!!

Kellee's Miracle Lasagna

Ingredients

1b ground meat (I often use venison)

1 jar spaghetti sauce

1/2 cup water (use to rinse out rest of sauce in jar)

6 cooked lasagna noodles

1 container ricotta cheese

2 cups shredded Mozzarella

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1. Brown meat and add spaghetti sauce and water. In a 11x7 pan spread 1 1/2 cups meat sauce. Top with 3 uncooked noodles, ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, parmesian cheese and 1 1/2 cup sauce. Top with 3 remaining uncooked noodles and then add remaining sauce. Cover

2. Bake at 375 for 1 hour. Uncover and top with remaining cheese. Let stand 5 minutes.This is a perfect size for our family. Also it freezes beautifully. I usually make a double batch and freeze one before baking it. Then I have an easy meal ready to go.
