Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 1 egg
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the marinara sauce, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper into the meat mixture. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
- While the meat sauce simmers, in a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, salt, and pepper to make the cheese mixture.
- To assemble the lasagna, spread a layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, a third of the mozzarella cheese, and a layer of meat sauce. Repeat the layers, finishing with noodles and topping with remaining meat sauce.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
Your homemade lasagna is now ready to be devoured! With its savory layers and cheesy goodness, it’s bound to become a favorite for family dinners or gatherings with friends. Happy cooking!
