Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Pour marinara sauce into the meat. Stir in drained egg noodles, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning; mix until incorporated. Pour mixture into an 8-inch square casserole dish and top with mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown, about 25 minutes.

LAZY MAN'S (OR LAZY MOM'S LASAGNA)
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Brown the beef with the optional onion, optional garlic, herbs, and salt and pepper in a large, ovenproof skillet (I use one that's made of castiron). When the meat is thoroughly cooked -- it will take 8 to 10 minutes -- drain off any fat and take everything out of the pan. Now put the still-frozen ravioli into the pan, breaking them up if they are clumped. Spread the ground beef mixture evenly over the ravioli, and ladle the spaghetti sauce evenly over the ground beef mixture. Over medium heat, without stirring, cook until the ravioli is heated through and beginning to brown on the bottom -- about 10 minutes.
- Take the skillet off the heat, lay the provolone slices over the ground beef mixture, and sprinkle the whole thing with the Parmesan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot.

Tips:

- If you don't have ricotta cheese, you can substitute cottage cheese or cream cheese.
- For a vegetarian version of this lasagna, omit the ground beef and add more vegetables, such as spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini.
- To make this lasagna ahead of time, assemble it and then freeze it. When you're ready to serve it, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and then bake it according to the directions.
- For a more decadent lasagna, add a layer of béchamel sauce between the layers of noodles and cheese.
