Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef and salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano. Use a spatula to break the beef up into small bite-size pieces as it cooks. Cook until brown, about 8 minutes.
2. Add the broken-up lasagna noodles. Pour the sauce over the noodles and beef and stir. Cover the pan and let simmer until the lasagna noodles are tender, about 15-20 minutes, stirring every so often to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
3. Stir in 3/4 cup of the mozzarella, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, and 1/4 cup of the ricotta. Then spoon the remaining ricotta in dollops over the top of the lasagna followed by the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Place the lid back on the pan to allow the cheese to melt or stick the pan under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and melted. Serve.
