Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown ground beef over medium high heat. Sprinkle beef with onion powder and basil, while it’s cooking. Drain the fat off the cooked meat and add spaghetti sauce. Pour water into empty sauce jar; cover and shake well. Add watery sauce to the meat sauce. Add sugar and mix well.
Mix 1¼ cups Mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, and egg until blended. Set aside.
Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Spread 1 cup meat sauce onto the bottom of the baking dish. Top with a layer of uncooked noodles. Noodles will expand to fit the dish during baking. Spread 1/3 of ricotta cheese mixture and 1 cup meat over noodles. Repeat two more layers.
Sprinkle with remaining Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover tightly with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking 15 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting to serve.
Everyone needs a good lasagna recipe and this is mine. It comes together quickly, since you do not cook the noodles in advance. I make it for big Allen family gatherings, as it feeds a crowd.
