Cut up a bell pepper and onion.

In a mixing bowl, combine half a container (15 oz) of ricotta cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, some parmesan cheese, some mozzarella cheese, and 2 tablespoons of sour cream; mix well.

In a medium hot pan, add butter, then add chopped onions and bell peppers; sauté for a few minutes.

Add 1.6 lbs of ground beef to the pan and cook until fully browned; strain the meat.

Season the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Tony's Creole seasoning, and all-purpose seasoning; add a few tablespoons of water and mix until well combined.

Add spaghetti sauce (using Prego roasted garlic and herb) to the meat mixture; add a dash of garlic paste and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar; mix well.

Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions; spread them out on a flat surface after cooking.

Spread a layer of the ricotta cheese mixture on each noodle, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese, meat sauce, and parmesan cheese; roll the noodles up tightly.

Place a layer of meat sauce at the bottom of a baking dish; arrange the rolled noodles seam-side down in the dish.

Top the rolled noodles with more meat sauce and additional mozzarella, parmesan, and sharp cheddar cheese.

Sprinkle parsley on top and cover the dish; bake at 375°F for 40 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
