Carol's Lasagna

Brown meat and drain off fat. Heat, but don't brown, onions; stir in remaining sauce ingredients. Simmer for about 30 minutes.

Fill a very large pot with water. Add about 1 t of salt for each quart of water in the pot. Add the lasagna noodles. Make sure that you cook enough noodles to cover a 13x9 baking pan 6 layers deep. Pre-heat oven to 350F.

Grease the inside of the baking pan with a light vegetable oil. Now make three filling layers. For each, put down 1/3 of the noodles, in two layers. Then spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture on the noodles. Then sprinkle with 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese. Finally, top with 1/3 of the sauce. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes or until bubbly hot. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

NOTES:

* A hearty lasagna with lots of meat and cheese -- Carol Angell and Juan Ochoa are old friends from Tektronix. Her lasagna recipe is one of my favorites. Yield: Serves 8-12.
