This is the way my Mom taught me to make Lasagna. It is really easy to make and it freezes well.

Lasagna

This make two pans of lasagna.

2 lb. hamburger
3 cans hunts spaghetti sauce (what ever flavors you want)
1 small onion chopped
1/2 green pepper chopped (optional)
1 large ricotta cheese
1 egg
4 cups mozzarella cheese (we like ours cheesy)
Parmesan cheese
lasagna noodles(uncooked)
two 11x7 pans that can go in freezer and oven *

brown hamburger and onions and drain. add sauce and peppers and mix well, set aside. Mix egg and ricotta cheese.
1)put about a cup of sauce in the bottom of two 11x7 pans
2)put down layer UNCOOKED lasagna noodles
3)divided ricotta between the two pans and spread evenly
4)top with mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese
5)spread about a cup of sauce on top of cheese
6)put down another layer UNCOOKED lasagna noodles
7)spread sauce on top of noodles, make sure all the noodles are covered in sauce well, it is the sauce that will cook the noodles while baking (you may have some extra sauce left)
8)sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top

To cook: cover with foil and put in oven THEN turn oven on (VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU USE GLASS DISH OR DISH WILL BREAK IN OVEN). Cook for 45 minutes at 350, then take foil off and cook 15 more minuets or until cooked threw.

To freeze: put a tight lid on dish and stick in freezer. when you are ready to cook take out of freezer the morning you plan to cook it in put in fridge to thaw. cover with foil and put in oven THEN turn oven on (VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU USE GLASS DISH OR DISH WILL BREAK IN OVEN). Cook for 45 minutes at 350, then take foil off and cook 15 more minuets or until cooked threw.
