DW has been making spaghetti sauce using Meatless Ground Round from Yves http://www.yvesveggie.com for many years now and I really like her spaghetti sauce. I look forward to it. She uses Yves Italian Veggie Ground Round. Sometimes it's hard to find in store.

Not having to brown the ground beef would reduce the prep time and make this easier to do in Class B Van.

Copied this recipe from Yves: http://www.yvesveggie.com/recipes/default.php for ideas:

Easy Veggie Lasagna Makes 8 servings.

1 pkg, crumbled Meatless Ground Round Original
3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/2 cup blanched or frozen spinach, chopped and squeezed
9 piece oven ready lasagna noodles
5 cups tomato basil pasta sauce
1/2 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 tsp oregano

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Spray a 9x13" lasagna pan lightly with oil.
