Lazy Lasagna

Ingredients

• 1 lb. lean ground meat, browned and drained
• 2 cups cheese (any kind)
• 2 cups whole tomatoes
• 1 can tomato paste
• 3 cups water
• 1/2 tsp. sugar
• 3/4 tsp. oregano
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. onion flakes
• 1 box lasagna noodles

Directions

Prepare sauce as follows: Brown and drain meat, remove from heat. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and water. Add spices and cheese. You can use a grated hard cheese, ricotta or cottage cheese. The sauce looks vile, but I promise it will be alright, keep going!

Prepare lasagna pan with Pam and cover the bottom with a thin layer of sauce. Cover with DRY lasagna noodles. Continue in layers till you have 4 layer sauce, 3 of noodles (if you run out of sauce, stretch with tomato juice). Cover with layer of waxed paper. Seal tightly with foil and bake 1 hour and 45 minutes at 350 degrees F. Let stand 1/2 hour before serving. Serves 12 to 15. May be frozen.

Robin, do you leave the waxed paper in place while the dish is cooking? (05/19/2006)
