Time 1h30m

Yield 1 13 x 9 pan, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground beef
1 lb Italian sausage (I use Bob Evans)
2 (32 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
3 teaspoons italian seasoning (approx.)
1 tablespoon sugar
3 cups mozzarella cheese (divided)
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 (16 ounce) box lasagna noodles

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef and sausage together and drain (I also rinse with water to wash away some the fat).
  • Put meat in food processor and pulse until it is fine and no chunks of meat left.
  • Put in pot and add spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, seasoning and sugar. Let simmer while noodles are cooking.
  • Mix cheeses together using 2 cups of mozzarella with all of the ricotta and parmesan cheese. Mix in the egg.
  • When ready to assemble, put some sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan and then start layering the noodles, cheese mixture and sauce. There should be three layers of 4 noodles and you should end with sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining cup of mozz. cheese. The pan will be full.
  • Bake in 350 degree oven for 30-45 minutes. Cover dish with foil for the first 15 minutes so cheese will not get too brown.
  • When done, let set for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
  • You can prepare this the day before and put it in the refrigerator. Bake the next day and Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound sweet Italian sausage
¾ pound lean ground beef
½ cup minced onion

2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (6.5 ounce) cans canned tomato sauce
½ cup water
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil leaves
½ teaspoon fennel seeds

1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
12 lasagna noodles
16 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
¾ pound mozzarella cheese, sliced
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
