Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

9 lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 (16 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon dried basil
4 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
3 eggs, beaten
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles and olive oil; cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
Cook the ground beef and sausage in a large pot over medium heat; drain. Stir in the mushrooms, garlic salt, oregano, thyme, basil, and tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper; simmer 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix together the ricotta cheese, eggs, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl.
Ladle enough of the meat sauce into a 9x13 inch baking dish to cover the bottom in a thin layer. Form a layer atop the sauce with 3 of the lasagna noodles. Spread about 1/4 of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle about 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta cheese mixture and then ladle about 1/3 of the meat sauce over the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layering twice more, topping with the remaining 1/4 pound of mozzarella cheese.
Bake in preheated oven 90 minutes. Allow to sit 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

Use a variety of cheeses for a more flavorful lasagna. A good combination is a blend of mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan.
Cook the sausage thoroughly before adding it to the lasagna. This will help prevent the lasagna from becoming greasy.
Don't overcook the lasagna noodles. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
Layer the lasagna in a 9x13 inch baking dish. This will ensure that the lasagna cooks evenly.
Bake the lasagna for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through.
Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the lasagna from falling apart.
Serve the lasagna with a side salad or garlic bread.
