Spread about 1 cup of meat sauce over the bottom of a 4 quart baking dish.

Note that you can use a little more or less than the 1 cup measurements here for the meat sauce and filling.

I usually go a little sparingly on the first two layers so that the top layer will be the thickest.

Repeat previous step to make a second layer.

Repeat again to make a third and final layer, using all that remains of meat sauce, filling, and mozzarella.
