While traditional lasagna can be a bit time-consuming to make, this recipe for Cheesy Lasagna Sheets simplifies the process by using no-boil lasagna noodles.
To make this Cheesy Lasagna Sheets recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
– 1 package of no-boil lasagna noodles
– 1 pound of ground beef
– 1 onion, diced

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix together the mozzarella, Parmesan, and ricotta cheeses. Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, followed by a layer of the cheese mixture. Repeat these layers until all of the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat sauce on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
