INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 1 pound ground beef
    • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage

  • Vegetables and Herbs

    • 4 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
    • 1 (16 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon garlic salt
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
    • ¼ teaspoon dried basil

  • Cheese and Dairy

    • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
    • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Other

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • Lasagna noodles

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2

Cook ground beef and sausage in a large pot over medium heat; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, mushrooms, garlic salt, oregano, thyme, and basil. Season with salt and black pepper, then simmer for 30 minutes.

3

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook lasagna noodles with olive oil until tender, stirring occasionally for about 8-10 minutes. Drain.

4

Combine ricotta cheese, eggs, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl.

5

Cover the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of meat sauce; layer 3 lasagna noodles on top. Spread about 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture over noodles, sprinkle about 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese over top, and spoon about 1/3 of the meat sauce over the mozzarella. Repeat this layering process twice more, finishing with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

6

Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven until the cheese melts and the sauce bubbles, about 90 minutes. Cover with foil if the cheese begins to darken excessively. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
