Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 lb ground chuck/beef
1 small onion chopped
1 24 oz jar pasta sauce (I used Del Monte chunky)
1 can tomato sauce
1 egg beaten
1 15 oz container of Ricotta cheese
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated parmesan cheese (divided in half)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup water
12 lasagna noodles ( I used oven ready. No boiling required)
Directions:
Directions:
Scramble the ground chuck/beef with the chopped onion until browned. Add some salt, pepper and garlic powder, if desired. Drain grease off, if needed.

Add pasta sauce, tomato sauce, a cup of water and stir.

Mix ricotta, 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup of parmesan, the beaten egg and Italian seasoning until blended.

Take a cup of the sauce and spread it on the bottom of a 13x9 casserole pan. Lay down the 3 lasagna noodles and add a fourth, at the bottom of the pan (if needed.). You may have to break a small portion off to get it to fit.

Take ⅓ of the cheese mixture and spread it over the noodles.

Repeat layers of sauce, noodles, the cheese mixture 2 more times, ending with the sauce.

Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan.

Spray a sheet of foil with cooking spray and cover. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
