Nana's Super Cheesy Lasagna

Nana made the best lasagna ever! And even though I can buy it ready made in the freezer section for half the price it costs to make it lol I just cant do it! This lasagna is so incredibly yummy ! Serve with a watercress salad and some cuban bread and your family will adore you!






Nana's Super Cheesy Lasagna


2 boxes lasagna noodles, cooked al dente and drained and seperated
                your favorite red sauce (if i am making it last minute i use hunts spaghetti sauces mixed together..2 cans of each garlic and onion, garlic and herb, sausage, garlic and basil,four cheese)
                1-32oz container of ricotta cheese and 1/2 of another
                2 blocks of muenster cheese
                3-16 oz bags of shredded whole milk mozzerella
                parmesian and romano cheeses grated
                1-2 eggs
                salt pepper and oregano
                3 lbs ground beef, chuck or sirloin
                salt pepper garlic powder minced onion cumin all seasoning and badia complete seasoning






Put ground meat in a large fry pan on medium heat and season with all ingredients except oregano. Include just a dash of cumin and some parmesian and romano cheeses. Cook till browned thru and add seasoning to taste.
In a bowl place ricotta and egg, sprinkle with salt pepper and oregano. In seperate bowl shred muenster cheese.
In large roasting pan add a few ladles of sauce, then layer lasagna noodles one over lapping the other a bit until bottom is covered.
Top this with a thin layer of sauce,sprinkle with ground meat mixture, add ricotta cheese by teaspoonfuls about an inch apart from each other, now add a layer of shredded mozzerella and a layer of shredded muenster.Now sprinkle with romano and parmesian, top with a drizzling of sauce over entire layer.
Repeat with another layer of noodles, meat and cheeses as before. continue to top of pan ending with a layer of noodles followed sauce and then grated cheeses (top layer wont have ricotta or meat)
Like I said my pan is huge and I get five layers. You will have to experiment with a smaller pan and may quite possibly get two lasagnas : ) But hey its freezable.
Cover with tented tinfoil and place on a baking sheet to catch sauce and cheese that spills over, place in preheated oven (350 degrees) I usually bake mine for about an hour (Bake till sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted)
Serve with my watercress salad and some garlic bread. and enjoy!!
