How to Make John's Lasagna
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Brown the ground beef, onion, and celery in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is cooked through and the vegetables are softened. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in the marinara sauce and mushrooms. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
- Spread 1/3 of the remaining meat sauce over the noodles.
- Sprinkle with 1/3 cup each of cheddar and mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Romano cheese.
- Repeat layers: 3 noodles, 1/3 meat sauce, 1/3 cup each of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup Romano cheese.
- Repeat layers one more time, ending with a layer of meat sauce.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese and Romano cheese over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 60 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- **To freeze:** Cool completely, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then foil, and label. Freeze for up to 2 months. To serve from frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake for 60-75 minutes, or bake from frozen for 90 minutes until heated through.
