  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can stewed tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 (8-ounce) jar tomato sauce
  • 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish.

In a large saute pan, over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil and saute meat, onion, and garlic until meat is browned, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon. Drain pan of fat and add stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Well, I made a few modifications (sorry, mostly because I think sauce with ground beef and little else to flavor it tends to taste bland. So I added hot italian sausage, and it was phenomenal. The recipe doesn't make a lot of sauce, so if you like saucy lasagna you may want to add to the recipe. Other than that, it was easy and better than you'd get at a lot of restaurants. It's also versatile, where you could easily add veggies to it. Next time I'll be adding some spinach and mushrooms. This is definitely a keeper.

    This recipe was GREAT!!! My husband is a picky eater he told me to keep this on the list. I have used different lasanga recipes this is the easiest and best tasting. I invited my family over to help eat this let say it lasted only 5 minutes. The Neely's are the BEST !!!!!!
