Ingredients
For the Meat Sauce:
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 cups marinara sauce
¼ cup ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
For the Cheese Mixture:
1½ cups ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
For Assembly:
9 lasagna noodles (regular or oven-ready)
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Noodles
If using regular lasagna noodles, cook them according to the package instructions until al dente.
Drain and lay flat on a clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Make the Meat Sauce
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Stir in the marinara sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheese Mixture
In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Mix until well blended.
Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Layer 3 noodles over the sauce.
Spread one-third of the cheese mixture over the noodles.
Top with one-third of the meat sauce.
Repeat layers two more times, ending with meat sauce on top.
Sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
Step 5: Bake
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
Use Oven-Ready Noodles – They save time and simplify assembly.
Don’t Skip Resting – Resting the lasagna after baking helps it set up and slice cleanly.
Cheese Variety – Feel free to mix in provolone, Swiss, or more cheddar for extra cheesiness.
Adjust Seasonings – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat if you like.
