Meat Lasagna - Cheeseless, Basil-Garlic Bread

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow we are having Cheeseless Meat Lasagna. You know my family, they don't eat cheese, so this seemed appropriate! This is really like spaghetti sauce meats the lasagna noodle but hey, the presentation is different. For our bread, I'm making Basil-Garlic Bread. I'm not really making the breas, I'm going to buy a loaf at the grocery store but the basil-garlic butter I'll whip up myself!

1 15 oz can tomato sauce

Preheat oven to 350. In a 10 inch skillet, heat oil and sauté onion, garlic and green pepper until soft. Add ground beef, stirring until meat browns. Add tomatoes with liquid, tomato sauce, parsley, sugar, basil, salt and pepper. Heat until boiling, stirring occasionally. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Cook noodles and rinse in cold water. Cover bottom of 9 by 13 baking dish with sauce mixture. Line with noodles, and spoon sauce over noodles. Add another layer of noodles and top with remaining sauce. Bake covered for 45 minutes.

Sandy’s notes: Don’t use no-boil lasagna unless you add extra liquid.
