Cheesy Lasagna

This was given to me years ago by a client of mine and I had never had a homemade lasagna recipe before that! We love it because of one silly ingredient. It has a different cheese in it that wouldn’t typically be found in a lasagna. American Cheese. Weird right? Well thats what you would think but it makes it extra cheesy and a little creamy! Here is the recipe below!

Ingredients:

Meat sauce mixture

1 lb. ground beef

1 Tbsp parsley flakes

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp basil

1/4 tsp oregano

1/4 tsp rosemary

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 lb. can tomatoes

12 oz. can tomato paste

Brown meat and drain. Add next 8 ingredients, Simmer 20 min. Put in 8-10 lasagna noodles in salted water. Cook for 15 minutes or al dente. Drain and rinse in cold water. OR buy the Oven Ready lasagna noodles.
