Let’s start making 3 Cheese Ground Beef Lasagna
Ingredients

- Ground Beef
- Salt– To season the ground beef.
- Pepper– To season the ground beef.
- Ricotta cheese
- Mozzarella cheese– I prefer shredding this cheese myself, the pre-shredded ones that come in the bag seem to dry to me. But if that what you have by all means use it.

- Egg

- In a medium pot over medium to high heat, place spaghetti sauce and cooked ground beef; heat through.
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
