Extra Easy Lasagna

*** This recipe found at www.menuplanningcentral.com/arecipes.pdf

3/4 pound lean ground beef
3 cups Prego Traditional spaghetti sauce
1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
6 uncooked lasagna noodles
1/4 cup water

1. In 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, cook beef until browned, stirring
to separate meat. Spoon off fat. Add spaghetti sauce; heat through, stirring
occasionally.

2. In 2-qt oblong baking dish, spread 1 1/2 cups meat mixture. Top with 3
uncooked lasagna noodles, half of the ricotta cheese and half of the mozzarella
cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining meat mixture.

3. Slowly pour water around inside edges of baking dish. Cover tightly with
foil.

4. Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes more. Let
stand 10 minutes before serving.

Serves: 8

My Notes: I've tried this recipe. Don't skimp on the time in the oven. I tried to shorten the time and the pasta was more chewy then we like. Also, I think you can leave out the 1/4 cup water unless your sauce and ricotta are super dry. Mine was fairly wet so the lasagna turned out a little more soupy than we like. But other than that this recipe is a keeper!!
