Make this classic lasagna recipe zestier by using hot Italian sausage or a little milder with regular Italian sausage. Don't be scared off by the long cooking time. The wait is well worth it. It's a great dish to make for a crowd and easy to adjust for varying tastes. The leftovers are even better when reheated the next day.

Ingredients

  • lasagna noodles: 9 piece
  • olive oil: 1 Tbsp
  • ground beef: 1 pound
  • bulk Italian sausage: 1 pound
  • mushrooms: 1 can (16 ounce can, drained, sliced)
  • garlic salt: 1 tsp
  • oregano: 1 tsp (dried)
  • thyme: 0.5 tsp (dried)
  • basil: 0.25 tsp (dried)
  • tomato sauce: 4 cans (15 ounce cans)
  • salt and pepper: (to taste)
  • ricotta cheese: 1 container (15 ounce container)
  • eggs: 3 piece (beaten)

  5. 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.
