Assembly Directions:
Combine spaghetti sauce, water, beans, corn, and chili seasoning mix. Spread 1 cup of the combined sauce over the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Arrange 4 uncooked lasagna noodles over the sauce layer (3 lengthwise and one cross-wise). Cover the noodles with 1 cup of the combined sauce. Spread half of the ricotta over the sauce layer. Arrange another 4 pieces of the lasagna over the ricotta layer and top with one cup of combined sauce. Spread remaining ricotta over the top. Arrange the final 4 pieces of lasagna over the ricotta. Cover the casserole with all remaining combined sauce.

Freezing Directions:
Place the shredded cheese in a small plastic bag that can be taped or otherwise attached to the dish. Wrap pan tightly with freezer paper, foil or place dish in a 2-gallon bag. Seal, label and freeze.

Serving Directions:
Thaw. Bake covered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Uncover lasagna, sprinkle the cheese on and bake uncovered for 15 minutes more.

Comments:
Lasagna will set up better and slice neater if it is allowed to sit for ten minutes before cutting.
