5 Cheese Lasagna
Prep Time:20 minutes
Cook Time:30 minutes
Resting Time:20 minutes
Total Time:1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 12 Lasagna Sheets
  • 3 pounds Ground Beef
  • ½ Onion, chopped
  • ½ tsp Crushed Black Pepper
  • ½ tsp Seasoning Salt
  • 2 28 oz Jars of Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce
  • 3 cups 4 Cheese Blend Shredded Cheese (Monterey Jack, Medium Cheddar, Queso Quesadilla, and Asadero Cheddar)
  • grated fresh parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375℉.
  • Add the noodles to a large pot of boiling water. Pour a dash of olive oil into the water. After the noodles are cooked, use a colander to drain the water from the noodles and set aside.
  • Add the ground beef to a large skillet on medium heat. Then add the salt, pepper, and chopped onion to the pan.
  • Once the ground beef is cooked, drain the oil from the ground beef. Pour the marinara sauce on top of the ground beef. Stir together. Change the stove temperature to low for 3 minutes.
  • Pour a spoonful of sauce onto an aluminum foil pan or lasagna dish. Use the back of the spoon to spread the sauce until it covers the whole pan.
  • Add a single layer of pasta to the pan. Typically 4 lasagna sheets for each layer works fine. Pour one third of the meat sauce onto the pasta. Cover the sauce with one cup of shredded cheese.
  • Repeat this process until you have 3 layers.
  • Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Uncover the lasagna and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Let cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
