Hamburger Heaven image

A recipe I received from a friend's mother, but customized more to my liking. Similar to lasagna, but not quite. Simple to make, with a minimum of dirty dishes afterwards. Feel free to be creative with the seasonings, pasta and cheese. The original recipe used spaghetti and American cheese. Change the amount of sugar to adjust the sweetness of the tomato sauce.
