This was good although I did change up a few things (not ingredients). After browning the hamburg, I added the rest of the 13 ingredients you have listed and simmered for the 10 minutes. I also do not boil my lasagna noodles ahead of time but place them in the 9x13 dry. I was concerned this was going to be too dry and so I put small bowl of spaghetti sauce on the table that I had heated up for slathering over. Only DH did this. My other DS's thought it was really good as is. The amount of ingredients listed were a bit intimidating as I usually just use a jar of Prego in my lasagna, but this went together relatively fast. I should mention too that I used 1/2 box of lasagna noodles. Thanks for a great dinner Seesko! Made for PRMR~ ETA....this would make a good BBQ - sloppy joe recipe too:-)
