Brown hamburger. Set aside.
Boil large pot of water, once it's boiling add the noodles and cook them till they're not quite done.(i'm guessing ⅞ minutes)
While noodles cook,or earlier in day(more on this later) pour sauce, cooked hamburger, sugar and spices into a pot, bring to a low boil and simmer for however long you'd like.
Drain noodles and make sure they are dry before you start layering.
Lay a layer of noodles. I go 2 deep for the most part. Here's another secret, throw some moz cheese on the noodles.
Next add a layer of sauce. Here's the next secret, throw some parmesan on top, it boosts the flavor like you cannot imagine.
Add a layer of mozzarella cheese.
Then repeat however many times you can fit in your pan.
Cook in a preheated 350 degree F oven for about 20-ish minutes.
