use a 9x13 pan for this recipe

Cook l lb ground beef add a splash or two of balsamic vinegar and one chopped onion at end then drain.
Add one bottle of good spaghetti sauce and 1 can of tomato sauce(16 oz I think)
Add some garlic powder or garlic salt and italian spices to taste.
Boil 9 Lasagne noodles according to package directions try to NOT let them break too much.
Optional Layer.....1 16 oz cottage cheese, lightly beaten egg, italian spices, 1/4 c. parmesean cheese (mix all together and add in place of one of the cheese layers)
Layers:
tiny bit of sauce
Lasagne Noodles
sauce
Cheese (I just use mixed grated cheese can be cheddar, mozzarella, colby, and some Parmesan cheese too)

Reserve some cheese for the last 15 min of cooking.
Bake on 350 for 30 min
