Easy Lasagna

                     

This is an easy, cheat way to make a lasagna. I've been making it for years.

2 boxes of lasagna noodles (oven ready)

I large jar of spaghetti sauce, any brand, any flavor (with meat, with veggies, whatever)

1 jar of garlic parmesan Alfredo Sauce (found right next to the spaghetti sauce)

Can of sliced black olives

Can of sliced mushrooms

1 diced onion, sautéed 

3 cloves of minced garlic, sautéed 

1-2 lbs ground beef, cooked & drained

1 container of ricotta cheese

2-3 cups of Italian cheese blend (mozzarella, Parmesan, etc. Your choice)

Combine ground beef, garlic, onions, mushrooms & black olives.

Layer a 9 x 13 baking dish with lasagna noodles. I usually line vertically, making 3 rows.  Spread spaghetti sauce onto noodles. Just enough to cover noodle layer completely. Add a layer of ricotta cheese. Add a layer of the ground beef mixture. Then add a layer of the Alfredo sauce. Add a layer of the cheese. Repeat process 3 more times or until out of ingredients. Top final layer with remaining cheese. 

Cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until noodles are tender.
