Make the Meat Lasagna

Yields 1 9x13-inch pan.

1. Heat oil in a very large skillet or a wide-bottomed pot. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. Add the chopped meat and garlic and sauté until browned, approximately five minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and seasonings. Mix well and remove from heat.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a 9x13-inch baking pan, layer the lasagna, starting with one ladleful of sauce, then a layer of noodles. Repeat layering until the noodles are used up, ending with the sauce. Cover pan tightly and bake for an hour. Remove cover and bake another 20 minutes.

Note:

This freezes well. For best freezer results, use oven-ready lasagna noodles.

Tip:

If you don’t have oven-ready lasagna noodles, use regular raw lasagna noodles and add 1/2 cup water to the meat mixture. For a super shortcut, use 1 and 1/2 jars marinara sauce in place of the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce.
