Ok, went to look on the Walmart site,

See if your store carries these http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10308405

If not... I see they have Del Monte, and or HUNTS

i don't remember having seen that brand.....i know they have hunts (usually what i buy) and del monte and then a couple generic brands.....we have another supermarket in town i haven't been to in about 6 months that i can check out as well.....

okay, just did the search feature on the link (forgive me, i'm operating at about 18% right now) and no wal-mart within a 100 miles sells that brand

Not to brag but I make what has been called by many as a great lasagna. Mainly because I use the best ingriedents and make my own sauce (no Ragu for me).

The recipe is fairly complicated so I will spare SD the bother.

Here is an easy version:

Easy Lasagna

* 8 ounces lasagna noodles (or more of everything depending on number of people you are feeding).
* 1 pound lean ground beef
* 1/2 cup chopped onion
* 8 ounces mushrooms, optional
* 1 jar (about 16 ounces) spaghetti sauce, your favorite
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon dried leaf oregano, crumbled
* 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf basil, crumbled
* 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
* 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
* 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside. In a large skillet, brown beef, onion, and mushrooms; drain well. Stir in spaghetti sauce, garlic powder, salt, oregano, and basil. In a 2-quart buttered baking dish
(about 11x7x2-inches), layer 1/3 of the lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the sauce and 1/3 of the ricotta cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat layers twice. Bake lasagna at 350° for 30 minutes, or until thoroughly heated and bubbly. Let stand for 8 to 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Serves 6 to 8.


Good luck, wil

I don't really use a recipe. The key is to start with a killer sauce. Also put some nutmeg and cinnamon in the ricotta mixture.

Is it possible to make a great lasanga withOUT ricotta cheese. I can't stand the stuff??

I do like the frozen lasagna =)

I would love to try to make this.... I am a HORRIBLE AWFUL Cook, that lacks patience and touch, but whatever...

I would love to try it with sauage too.. When you use sauage, is it mixed with beef

Hmm, Without Ricotta .....??? I guess then it would be like Baked Ziti

You can use it for a Baked Ziti, just about everything the same....Just No Lasagne noodles.

Regarding ricotta, I understand what you are saying but I have run into a lot of non Italians who are not crazy about it and prefer a cheddar or mozzarella type cheese of some sort. My wife is like that.

Try chopping up some pepperoni, very small, in there. It's killer. Adds a ton of flavor.

I know it's not the same, but the Italian sausage or Ground Sausage can be used the same way.

I once had someone make it with Pepperoni, it was ok....But Just not the same for My taste.

If I may add: par cook the noodles for 5 minutes tops! in salted boiling water ahead of time. This will make life alot easier for you when assembling. They will be easier to handle and not fall apart. Drain the noodles in a colander and lay them out on your counter top to cool off.

Make sure you drain off excess water out of the ricotta by tipping the container upside down if a colander for atleast 30 minutes.

Make sure you lightly sauce the bottom of your baking dish.

Make sure you make extra sauce on the side... I love sauce on the side for Lasagna.

A typical pan of Lasagna should bake for approx 1-2 hours at 325 degrees.
