Brown 1 lb. ground beef, drain, and add to the sauce while it's simmering.

Layer noodles on top of sauce, then some of cheese mixture and more sauce. Repeat until all noodles and cheese are used. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top if desired. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake a few more minutes until sauce bubbles up on sides.
