Beef Lasagna
Tender morsels of beef suspended in a rich, tomatoey sauce, layered with delicate lasagna noodles and blankets of melted cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper plus more to taste

- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F for the perfect bake.
- Brown the ground beef in a saucepan over medium heat until no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add diced onion, 1 tablespoon oregano, the salt, and pepper to the beef, cooking until onions are tender.
- Pour in marinara sauce and water, bring to a boil, then simmer to let flavors meld.
- In a bowl, mix ricotta, eggs, Parmesan, remaining oregano, some extra salt, and pepper until combined.
- Layer meat sauce, noodles, and cheese mixture in a 9x13-inch baking dish, ending with cheese on top, and finishing with the added mozzarella.
