Supreme Lasagna

This became a "clean out the fridge" recipe, but it's so yummy!

You'll need:
1 large container ricotta cheese
1-2 cups mozzarella cheese (your preference)
1/4 cup parmisan cheese
1 egg
1 box lasagna noodles (I recommend the kind you don't have to cook first)
1 jar marinara sauce
1 lb ground beef
1/2 pkg frozen spinach
1/2 of each of the following: red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. brown the ground beef. Drain.
2. Mix cheeses and egg in a large bowl, set aside.
3. Coat the bottom of a large glass baking dish with sauce
4. lay 1st layer of noodles
5. coat noodles with sauce
6. coat noodles with cheese mixture (about 1/3 of the mix)
7. top with 1/3 peppers, beef, and spinach
8. repeat 2x, or until you run out of ingredients.
9. Top with a layer of noodles, a layer of sauce, and a layer of cheese
10. Bake lasagna for 30 mins., checking on it periodically. Noodles should be soft and cheese should bubble when it's finished.

Tips: serve with garlic bread and salad, finish with dulce de leche cheesecake (recipe above).

Substitutions: You can change the veggies for anything you like, but I highly recommend the above because of the unique flavorings they add to the dish.

Serves 8-10

Delish!
