Lucy's Lasagna

Ingredients:

2 lbs or 1 ½ lbs. ground beef
 3 tablespoons parsley flakes
 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
2-15 oz. cans of tomato sauce
 2-10 oz. cans of tomato puree
1-12 oz. can of tomato paste
1-14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes.
1 box lasagna noodles
2 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
2 ½ cups mild cheddar cheese
2 ½ cups Edam of Gouda cheese

Directions:

Brown the ground beef with the parsley flakes, parmesan cheese, and pepper and salt. Then add the tomato sauce, tomato puree, tomato paste and diced tomatoes to the beef and simmer on low for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, boil the box of lasagna noodles per directions on box. Once the noodles and beef mixture is cooked, begin layering ingredients in a deep casserole or dish pan. First put half of the sauce mix on the bottom, then layer half of the cooked noodles, then put all of the cheeses on, then the rest of the noodles, and finally the rest of the sauce mix. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. Cover with tin foil and cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour or until all of the layers are cooked thoroughly. You can also make this and freeze it for a meal later on. If you do this, cook it at 325 degrees for 1 ½ to 2 hours.
