Meat & Cheese Lasagna

One dish that everyone loves.  It can be a bit time consuming but needs easy to find ingredients. Here is my version of it.

Ingredients:
12 lasagna noodles cooked al dente
Red sauce of your choice (I use my homemade one)
1lb ground beef
3 spicy Italian sausages (casing removed)
23 oz Ricotta cheese
1/4 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 egg
Shredded Mozzarella



Preparation:
In small saucepan brown the ground beef, sausage, onions and garlic and drain excess fat.

Mix some red sauce into the meat.

In large bowl mix Ricotta cheese, a handful of Mozzarella cheese, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and egg

In baking dish or casserole dish coat the bottom with a very thin layer of red sauce and then lay the lasagna noodles across.

Spoon cheese mixture over the noodles and then lay more noodles over cheese.

Spoon meat mixture over those noodles and then cover with more noodles. (continue alternating layers until you run out of both mixes)

Pour red sauce over the top of the top noodles and spread evenly. Then sprinkle desired amount of Mozzarella cheese over the top.

Bake at 350 for 50 minutes.
