Notes
Let the ground beef dry well before seasoning so the sauce becomes richer. Break the lasagna noodles if needed to fit them better in the skillet. Press the noodles lightly into the sauce so they cook evenly. If the liquid dries before the pasta is tender, add a little more hot water. Use low heat after adding the cheese so it melts without burning the bottom.
