  15. 32-36 ouncestomato sauce
  16. 9-12lasagna noodles, you may need to adjust number based on brand size. Each layer has the same number per layer

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a saute pan, and saute the ground beef and Italian sausage and onions cook until browned. Add seasoning. Drain any excess grease, and set mixture aside.

  3. 3

    In mixing bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan cheese, basil,salt,pepper and granulated garlic. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add eggs and mix well and set aside the mixture.

  4. 4

    To assemble the lasagna, spray the 9 x 13 pan with pan spray, place about 10 ounces of tomato sauce in the bottom of the pan, then place 3 noodles.

  5. 5

    Spread out all of the meat mixture and about 8 ounces of tomato sauce spread evenly and sprinkle little mozzarella over the layer. It is important to have the sauce and meat mixture go to the edges.

  6. 6

    Place 3 more noodles over that layer and evenly spread the ricotta cheese mixture. Place the final 3 noodles on top lightly pressing down and pour the remaining sauce.It is important to have the sauce even and to the edges. I like to lightly tap the pan against the counter to encourage settling.

  7. 7

    Top with mozzarella cheese and cover with foil. Bake for 50 minutes at 350 degrees uncover and bake for an addition 10 minutes or until it gets a light browning on the cheese. Remove from oven, let rest for 15 minutes before cutting.

  8. 8

    I do not cook the Lasagna noodles they cook with the sauce and help give a firm lasagna. If you want to follow the package directions and add the cooked Lasagna sheets
