Homemade Lasagna without Ricatta Cheese

Last night for dinner I made this homemade lasagna. It took over an hour but it wasn't too difficult to make overall. Kevin and I would rather not have ricotta cheese so we found a recipe HERE that didn't contain ricotta. Instead, we used mozzarella, colby jack, and parmesan.

Ingredients:
12oz can of spaghetti sauce
8oz can tomato sauce
3 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp italian seasoning
2 tsp garlic powder
1 cup water
1 pound ground beef
8oz bag of mozzarella cheese
2 cups colby jack cheese
15 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
3oz shaved parmesan cheese

Directions:
Fill a large pot with water and a few teaspoons of salt. Let boil. Cook lasagna noodles for 10 minutes, placing 2-3 in the pot at a time. Add the ground beef to a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 Tbsp onion powder and brown the meat. Add the spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, and water. Add in the remainder onion powder, italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Let simmer for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. When lasagna noodles are done, drain excess water and put to the side. Spray a pan with PAM or cooking spray. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on the bottom of the pan.

Layer four lasagna noodles on top of the parmesan cheese. Layer 1/3 of the sauce, 1/2 cup of colby cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and some more parmesan cheese.

Repeat two more times. Make sure the top layer of the lasagna is the remainder of the mozzarella cheese. Cover with tin foil and bake for 50 minutes. Broil for two more minutes. Let stand 5-10 minutes and serve with garlic bread.
