Easy Lasagna

Serves/Makes: 6
Difficulty Level: 3
Ready In: 1-2 hrs

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
32 ounces thick spaghetti sauce (I bought 2 big cans of original Spaghetti Sauce and only used one and a half because that would be about 32 oz.  Next time I would use all of both cans.)
1 1/2 cup water
2 cups (15 oz.) Ricotta cheese
3 cups (15 oz.) shredded Mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces lasagna noodles, uncooked (only 8 oz? I am pretty sure I used a whole box of 16 oz.)

Directions:
Brown beef in 3-quart saucepan (not a skillet like I used! It was almost overflowing!); drain off excess fat. Add sauce and water; simmer about 10 minutes. [In separate mixing bowl,] combine remaining ingredients, except lasagna, for filling. Pour about 1 cup sauce on bottom of 9x13x2-inch baking pan. Layer 3 pieces (just cover the sauce... duh.) of uncooked lasagna over sauce; cover with about 1 1/2 cups sauce. Spread half (half? whatever.) of cheese filling over sauce.

Repeat layers of lasagna, sauce and cheese filling (so was I suppose to combine the meat sauce with the cheeses???). Top with layer of lasagna and remaining sauce. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Remove foil; bake about 10 minutes longer. Allow to stand 10 minutes before cutting.

REVIEW:
Made it yesterday. I LOVE homemade lasagna.  Love it.  This was good.  I would make sure it's a bit saucier next time.  But let's be honest... it's been a while since I've had anything but Stouffer's Lasagna so this was a party in my mouth. Love homemade lasagna. (PS mom.... maybe we could have something different than lasagna for my birthday this year since I will be eating left-overs for weeks.)
