Make your sauce by cooking your ground beef, pour off grease. Chop up bell pepper and onion and brown for one minute and season with a little salt pepper and garlic as you prefer. After drained, pour in both jars of spaghetti sauce. I use Ragu or Prego with mushrooms; whichever is on sale. Stir and simmer on medium heat.
Meantime bring large pot of salted water to boil, and put in lasagna noodles. I usually do 3 layers but to make sure you have 15 noodles at least. Cook 10 to 12 minutes, remove from heat and drain. Using a 10x14 inch casserole dish, begin your layers. With a ladle or spoon, put a couple of teaspoons of the sauce on bottom to guard against noodles sticking, and then put layer of noodles, followed by a layer of meat sauce and a about 6 Tbsp. (distributed inches apart) of the mushroom soup. It's too thick to drizzle but try to distribute it a little. On top of that spread a nice layer of mozzarella cheese.
Repeat this 2 more times, beginning with the noodle, meat sauce, soup then cheese. You should end up with cheese on top. Set oven at 375 degrees F, and bake for 1 hour, or till cheese is slightly brown and edges are bubbly. It is like spaghetti. It taste even better warmed up the next day, delicious.

I have been making lasagna for years and have never thought to put a layer of sauce on the bottom to stop the noodles from sticking. What a great idea. You should post it as a hint!
I love the sound of your recipe would really like to try it. I just have one question, how can you get 5 strips of lasagne on one layer. When I make lasagne, I can only fit 3 strips in one layer. If I was making this and I would like to, I picture having 5 layers. Can you clarify please? I am so anxious to try it.
