Amazingly Rich Lasagna - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb ground beef
    3 gloves minced garlic
    1/2 box barilla 'ready for oven' lasagna noodle (or brand of your choice)
    1 (24 ounce) jar plain spaghetti sauce (again, I used Barilla)
    1 (24 ounce) jar 3 cheese blend spaghetti sauce (you guessed it, Barilla)
    2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
    1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
    1/2 cup parmesan cheese
    4 cups grated mozzarella cheese
    2 eggs
    2 tablespoons oregano
    2 tablespoons parsley
    1 tablespoon garlic powder
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 375. Spray bottom of casserole dish (I use 13X9, can use larger). Brown hamburger meat in pan, add 3 gloves garlic before fully browned. Drain any fat. Stir in jar of plain spaghetti sauce and 1/2 jar of 3 cheese blend sauce. Heat til warm/bubbly.
    In large bowl, combine cream cheese, ricotta, parmesan, 3 1/2 C mozzarella, and 2 eggs. Add oregano, parsely, and garlic powder. Stir until combined, mixture will be thick.
    To assemble lasagna, pour 1/2 C remaining 3 cheese blend sauce onto bottom of pan. Place 3-4 lasagna noodles on top of sauce, overlapping edges of pasta a little, spread 1/2 cheese mixture onto pasta, top with meat sauce, repeat. Pour remaining 1/2 C 3 cheese blend sauce onto top layer of noodles, top with remaining 1/2 C mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool about 10 minutes and enjoy!
