Meat Lasagna

This is another one of those recipes that freezes well and is nice to have on hand for the lunch box. I've made this lasagna with lean ground beef, but you can substitute that for any ground meat you would like to use. One of my sons often makes it using ground chicken, which is absolutely delicious as well.
