You can make classic lasagna flavor with half the fuss and cleanup using this easy sheet pan lasagna recipe. We focus on maximizing those delicious, crispy edges that everyone loves. This version uses ground beef for a hearty taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 9 no-boil lasagna noodles
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper until combined.
  4. Spread about 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  5. Arrange three lasagna noodles lengthwise over the sauce. Break them if necessary to fit.
  6. Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles.
  7. Sprinkle one-third of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
  8. Spoon half of the cooked ground beef over the cheese.
  9. Spoon about 1 cup of marinara sauce over the ground beef layer.
  10. Repeat the layering process: three more noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, one-third of the mozzarella, the remaining ground beef, and another cup of marinara sauce.
  11. Top with the final three noodles. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the top layer of noodles, spreading it to cover the edges.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and a light dusting of Parmesan cheese over the top.
  13. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly browned. For extra crispy edges, bake an additional 5 minutes.
  14. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Using no-boil noodles simplifies this recipe considerably.
  • Ensure you spread sauce all the way to the edges of the pan to help prevent the noodles from drying out.
  • Resting time is key; it helps the layers set up for cleaner slices.
