Add another layer of noodles and cover with half of the cheese mixture.
Add another layer of noodles with remaining ground beef, 1/4 of the spaghetti sauce.

Tips
Because there are minimal ingredients in this recipe, each ingredient is important - choose the best quality you can!
If you have a few extra minutes, fresh shred mozzarella for an extra creamy taste.
If you like extra crispy edges, remove the foil a little earlier to let them brown! So good.
