The ingredients needed to make Lasagna Casserole:

2. Make ready or so Mozzarella cheese for topping

5. Get olive oil, if your meat lacks fat
6. Make ready large onion, diced
7. Make ready minced garlic
8. Get Salt and pepper
9. Get dried basil, oregano, and parsley
10. Make ready jar of pasta sauce, and a little water to rinse out the jar
11. Prepare can of tomato paste (optional for more intense tomato flavor)

Instructions to make Lasagna Casserole:

1. Bring large pot of water to boil, salt water and cook noodles to al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Brown meat, and as meat is getting close to done add in onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook until onions are getting translucent, and add herbs (oregano, parsley, and basil). Then add pasta sauce and tomato paste if using. Stir well together, add the vinegar and sherry. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, add the sugar, then let simmer together for an hour. Watch bottom of pan that it doesn't scorch.
3. Heat oven to 375. Put your cheese and two eggs into a bowl, beat together until smooth (important for if you use cottage cheese instead of ricotta, helps smooth out out. Cottage cheese also spreads easier during assembly). Stir in pepper, parsley, and parmesan. Finally mix in Mozzarella cheese.
4. Once all your components are assembled, spray a 11x16 casserole pan with cooking spray. You will assemble starting with ¹⁄₃ of the noodles, ¹⁄₃ of the sauce, and ¹⁄₂ of cheese mixture. Repeat the layers, and end with last third of noodles topped with sauce. Finally spread 2 cups of Mozzarella cheese over top of the casserole.
5. Cover with foil, bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes, if you want the cheese on top browned and slightly more crispy put under the broiler for a hot minute. Allow to cool for 10 minutes to set up before dishing up. Feed to hungry children and husband!
