I wanted to make a lasagna for a friend, my mom had shown me how to make her amazing lasagna before but I lost the instructions I wrote down, so this second time around I'm sharing it multiple places so I don't lose the instructions again 
My mom's Lasagna recipe:
Ingredients:
1lb ground beef
2lbs mozzarella cheese (12 slices, 1/3 inch thick)
1 jar (23oz) Bertolli Rustic Cut Marinara Sauce
1 jar (24oz) Bertolli Pasta Sauce Five Cheese
1 jar (24oz) Classico Italian Sausage Spaghetti Pasta Sauce with Peppers & Onions
Lasagna noodles (14)
Spices:
1 tsp italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
Equipment:
9x13 pan
Instructions:
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil (add pinch of salt)
2. While waiting for the pot of water to boil cook ground beef and slice up mozzarella cheese.
3. Once water is boiling add noodles and cook according to instructions on package, for me that's 8 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
5. When ground beef is done cooking drain and add to a medium sized pot along with the 3 jars of pasta sauce and spices, stir and bring to a simmer for about 10 minutes.
6. Drain and rinse the noodles.
7. Once the sauce is done simmering it's time to start layering the lasagna.
First layer: enough pasta sauce to the cover the bottom of the pan, about 1/2 inch of sauce.
Second layer: 4 lasagna noodles, length wise, overlapping a slight amount.
Third layer: 6 pieces of cheese, half the total amount.
Fourth layer: 4 lasagna noodles, length wise, overlapping a slight amount.
Fifth layer: 6 pieces of cheese, the last of the cheese.
Sixth layer: 4 lasagna noodles, length wise, overlapping a slight amount.
Seventh layer: Enough sauce to cover the top, when making this recipes you will have sauce left over, you can freeze it or use it for spaghetti.
8. Cover with tin foil and pop it in the oven, cook the lasagna for 45 minutes.
The pictures I've included are a finished lasagna before it goes in the oven and the pasta sauces I use.
Notes: I make 2 extra noodles just in case any break, if they don't break I just add them to the top when I'm finished but you don't have to, I just can't waste food.
