    Preheat oven to 375AF.

    Meat Sauce: Cook ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat.

    When beef is browned and onion is tender, drain.

    Wipe out saucepan with a paper towel.

    Stir over medium-low heat until well blended.

    Spread about 1 cup of meat sauce over the bottom of a 4 quart baking dish.

    Add a single layer of lasagna noodles.

    Spread about 1 cup of the filling over noodles.
  14. 14
    Sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the filling.

    Note that you can use a little more or less than the 1 cup measurements here for the meat sauce and filling.
  16. 16
    I usually go a little sparingly on the first two layers so that the top layer will be the thickest.
  17. 17
    Repeat previous step to make a second layer.

    Repeat again to make a third and final layer, using all that remains of meat sauce, filling, and mozzarella.
