Ingredients

  1. 1 boxlasagna noodles
  2. 1 lbground beef
  3. 1 lbloose Italian sausage
  4. 2 jarsyour favorite spaghetti sauce
  5. 6-8 cupsshredded cheese -Italian blend works best
  6. Italian seasoning

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown the meat. I brown each pound separately adding a tablespoon of Italian seasoning each batch.

  2. 2

    In a large pot mix all the browned meat with the jars of spaghetti sauce. Add Italian seasoning and sugar too taste. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 3

    While you are browning the meat bring a large stockpot of water to a boil. Add salt to taste and 2 tablespoons olive oil to help reduce sticking.

  4. 4

    Sauce should be simmering and water boiling. When water reaches a boil add pasta sheets one sheet at a time. Continue boiling for 10 minutes. When you add the pasta to the water turn off heat on sauce.

  5. 5

    When pasta is finished cooking drain and immediately rinse with cold water.

  6. 6

    In a large casserole dish ladle approximately 1 1/2 cups into the bottom. Spread all over.

  7. 7

    Next lay out 4 lasagna noodles.

  8. 8

    Spread another 1 1/2 - 2 cups of sauce over noodles. Then evenly spread 2 cups of shredding cheese.

  9. 9

    Continue that order...noodles/sauce/cheese for 4 layers. I press down on the noodles as I place them.

  10. 10

    Cover and bake at 350F for 50 minutes. Remove cover and finish baking for 10 minutes.

  11. 11

    Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

  12. 12

    This is a thick dense lasagna that cuts into perfect pieces. A small piece goes a long way.
