Shopping List
• mozzarella cheese
• cottage cheese
• parmesan cheese
• spaghetti sauce
• ground beef
• hamburger helper lasagna mix OR egg noodles
• green salad mix (butter and/or romaine lettuces)
• tomatoes
• white bread OR texas toast OR garlic bread

Boil and drain the noodles.
Cook and drain the ground beef. Sprinkle with the seasoning packet (if you used Hamburger Helper noodles).
Mix the cheeses together.
Open the spaghetti sauce.

Layer noodles, cheese mix and beef, pouring a little spaghetti sauce over each layer. My own preference is to put a little sauce and then the beef at the bottom, then noodles, then cheese, then sauce, then repeat one more time ending with sauce at the top.

Cook covered 30-45 minutes at 375-400, then uncover and cook another 15-30 minutes. My stove is old and doesn’t regulate itself well so time and temp varies greatly. When the lasagna is bubbly and browned on top, it is usually done and perfect.

Let it sit for 20-30 minutes while you fix the salad and toast. Then eat and enjoy.

SMART TIP: We buy foil pans from Sams Club in bulk so that we can make TWO at one time. This means we will have a day off later on!
