Lasagna...mmm!

Last week I set out to make my semi-famous Lasagna dish for a co-worker who lost her sister to cancer. I wanted to deliver her some comfort food to makes things just a bit easier. Here is my recipe:




Ingredients:
  1. 3 cans Hunts tomato sauce
  2. 1 box lasagna
  3. 1 tub of ricotta cheese
  4. 2 cups of mozzarella cheese
  5. 2 cloves garlic
  6. 1 lb italian sausage
  7. 1 lb hamburger
  8. salt and pepper


For a 13x9 pan:

-Boil a box a lasagna until it is "just about" all the way cooked. You want it to still be a bit hard, but not too much.

-In the pot on the stove, simmer 3 cans of Hunts tomato sauce with 2 cloves of minced garlic. 

-Brown 1 lb of italian sausage and 1 lb of hamburger. Drain and then combine with tomato sauce.

-In the pan, cover bottom with the sauce mixture. Layer with 3-4 rows of lasagna noodles. Cover noodles with ricotta cheese. Put sauce on top of the cheese and then top with mozzarella cheese. 

-Continue to layer up until you reach the last inch of pan. Cover finals noodles with sauce and then pile on the mozzarella! The more cheese, the better :) I also sprinkle salt and pepper over the top. 

-Cook lasagna at 350 for about 45-60 minutes. Cheese will start to brown on top. Because everything is already cooked, the cook time is just about heating the lasagna all the way through. Enjoy!
