Ron's Lasagna

Ingredients

1 8oz cream cheese
1 16 oz package of shredded mozzarella
1 12oz package of Ricotta
1 lb of hamburger
1 sweet onion
5 cloves of garlic
1 jar of favorite spaghetti sauce we like Prego Tomato Basil and Garlic
1 package of lasagna noodles (you will need 10)
1 package of shredded Asiago cheese.
Salt, Pepper and Italian seasoning blend

Mix the cream cheese and Ricotta together in bowl.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Brown the hamburger in a skillet and when browned add the onion until translucent.  Then add the garlic and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes. I recommend a teaspoon of salt and pepper at this time. Add the Spaghetti sauce and lower the heat to low or simmer.

Boil the noodles in a large pot for 12 minute or whatever is recommended on the package. Drain the noodles and rinse them in cool water to stop the cooking process.

Add 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning mix to the hamburger sauce.

In a 13 x 9 inch pan place about 2 teaspoons of the sauce at the bottom and spread around to grease the bottom of the pan. Place three of the cook lasagna noodles over the bottom of the pan, then coat with one third of the cream cheese mixture, then 1/3 of the meat sauce, sprinkle with 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Then repeat with noodles, 1/3 of meat sauce, and 1/2 of the mozzarella.  For the last layer use the last three noodles (one was extra just in case you damaged them while cooking). the last of the cheese mixture and the last of the meat sauce. Sprinkle a layer of shredded Asiago cheese on the top.

Bake for 25 minutes, then remove and let cool for another 10-15 minutes.  If it is too warm the cheese layers will be runny so be patient.
