Lasagna that can be thrown together quickly. It's also easily divided into two pans; freezing one. You can thank yourself later.

servings
ingredients:
2 lbs Ground Beef
1/2 diced Onion
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/2 package Lasagna Noodles
1 jar Marinara Sauce - Your favorite spaghetti sauce will do but don't get too crazy with the flavor, a traditional tomato sauce is best.
1lb Mozzarella Cheese
1lb Cheddar Cheese
16 oz Ricotta Cheese
directions:
Saute the onion and beef until the beef is cooked through.
Cook the noodles to package directions.
Remove most of the fat from the beef and put a couple tablespoons in the bottom of the lasagna/casserole dish.
Layer noodles, 1/2 meat, cheddar & mozzarella cheese, 1 thick layer of ricotta.
Then another layer noodles and meat.
Top with cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes to heat through.
If frozen, thaw and heat through for 30 minutes.
Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

It's going to be messy (and more of a casserole) if you don't let it rest a bit. The waiting is the hardest part. Or if you make it to saucy. One jar of sauce is the right amount for 2 lbs of meat. If you like things saucy, add it to each dish after serving - like the fancy restaurants do.
