Mom's Lasagna

I have been making this for years and never thought about writing down the recipe-- just made it like mom.   So, by request, here is what I do (approximately)--- if anyone has the actual recipe, please edit!

1 box of lasagna noodles
1-2 lbs hamburger
1-2 cans of spaghetti sauce
Lots of mozzarella
1 - 16 oz ricotta 
1 egg
1/2-1 cup parmesan

1- Cook lasagna noodles as directed on box.
2- Cook up hamburger and drain (I add salt/garlics salt while I cook)
3- In a bowl, mix ricotta, egg, and parmesan together.
4- In a 9x13 pan-- add a layer of hamburger on the bottom
5- Spoon a little sauce over the hamburger.
6-Add a layer of noodles (3 noodles per layer)
7-Spread half of ricotta mixture over noodles.
8-Sprinkle more hamburger over it.   Add sauce and then some mozzarella evenly across the layer.
9- Add another layer of noodles-rest of ricotta - rest of hamburger -more sauce - more mozzarella.
10- Top the mixture with last 3 noodles.  Spread some sauce over the top layer of noodles and then add mozzarella on top.

Cook 350 for an hour.  You may want to put foil on for the first 30 minutes if you don't want the top cheese layer to overbrown.   Let sit 10-15 min after you take out of oven.
