Lasagna


1 Jar spagetti sauce
Lasagna noodles enough to cover a 9x13 glass baking dish
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 tsp fresh garlic minced
1/8 to 1/4 cup chopped red onion (to taste)
2 1/2 tsp to 1 tbsp dried oregano
1 1/2 to 2 tsp dried basil
1 to 1 1/2 cup shredded mozarella cheese
1 to 1 1/2 lb fried hamburger
1 lb mild Italian sausage

Boil noodles until not all the way softened so they are easier to work with.

While noodles are boiling start the hamburger and sausage frying in separate pans.. Drain and rinse the grease from the meat. Grind in blender for smaller size pieces of meat.  Mix two meats together

Cheese Filling:
mix together the ricotta, minsed garlic and mozarella cheese.

Tomato sauce:
add the seasonings to the tomato sauce along with the onion.

Place a layer of meat on the bottom of your baking dish and coat with some of the tomato sauce. Place your first layer of noodles over the hamburger. Top with your cheese filling. Place your second layer of noodles over the cheese mixture. Top with a small portion of reserved hamburger and enough of the tomato sauce to cover the noodles evenly. Any exposed noodles will dry out during baking.

You can top with more grated cheese and seasonings at this time if you would like.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until all bubbly.
