1Preheat oven to 375°F. For the Meat Sauce, brown beef in large skillet. Remove meat from skillet and drain; set aside. Heat oil in same skillet on medium heat. Add onion, Seasoning, sugar, garlic powder and salt (if desired); cook and stir 5 to 10 minutes until onions are softened.

3Meanwhile, for the Lasagna, mix ricotta, 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, eggs, Seasoning, salt (if desired) and pepper in a large bowl.

4Spread 1 1/2 cups of the sauce in bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish. Top with 1/4 of the lasagna noodles. Spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture over noodles. Top with 1 1/2 cups of sauce. Repeat layers two more times, ending with a layer of pasta and remaining sauce. Spray one side of a large sheet of foil with no stick cooking spray. Cover lasagna with foil, sprayed-side down.
