I took this off a Mueller's spaghetti box a long time ago. It takes a while to prepare, but it is worth it.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef or 1 lb ground chuck
3/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons salad oil or 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 cups water
1 tablespoon parsley
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano leaves
8 ounces lasagna noodles
1 lb ricotta cheese
8 ounces shredded or thinly sliced mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. In a large heavy pan, lightly brown beef and onion in oil.
2. Add tomatoes (cut with a knife), paste, water, parsley, salt, sugar, garlic powder, pepper and oregano.
3. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, cook lasagna noodles, as directed.
5. Drain.
6. In a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan, spread 1 cup sauce.
7. Then alternate layers of lasagna noodles, sauce, ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan cheese, ending with sauce, mozzarella and parmesan.
8. Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes until lightly browned and bubbling.
9. Allow to stand for 15 minutes.
10. Cut into squares to serve.
