I'm an old-fashioned country cook and love preparing recipes like this one that uses staples I normally keep on hand. Unlike most lasagnas, this one doesn't call for precooking the noodles. It's so simple my children sometimes make it after school and have it ready when I get home from work. -Angie Price, Bradford, Tennessee

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
WHITE SAUCE:
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups 2% milk
1-1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
10 to 12 uncooked lasagna noodles

Directions

In a Dutch oven, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, bouillon and seasonings. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large saucepan; stir in the flour, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in half of the cheese; set aside.
Pour half of the meat sauce into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Layer with half the lasagna noodles and remaining meat sauce. Top with remaining noodles. Pour white sauce over noodles. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Cover and bake at 400° for 40 minutes or until bubbly and noodles are tender. Yield: 10-12 servings.

My family loves lasagna, and never have ricotta cheese on hand, this recipes uses staples that I always have on hand and it is delicious.

you have to try this! It is our favorite lasagn recipe and it is so easy.. I did double the amount of tomatoes, tomato paste, beef granules, and Italian seasoning. The first time I doubled the cayenne and regular pepper it was a bit hot so I don't double those anymore. I doubled the sauce because it didn't seem like there was quite enough of it for this many noodles. Very good you'll know why it won the blue ribbon!
