My #1 Favorite Lasagna feeds 4-6

one package of lasagna noodles
one pound of ground beef
one pound sausage
4 cups mozzarella cheese
one 15 ounce package of ricotta cheese
2 cans of Chef Boyardee pizza sauce
3 cloves freshly diced garlic
optional
1/2 cup onion
one can mushrooms
In a large pot bring water to a boil adding a Cpl tablespoons olive oil.
Meanwhile, brown the beef and sausage in a large pan
add the garlic cloves and optional onions and mushrooms then simmer about 5 minutes then add the pizza sauce. (favorite spaghetti or pasta sauce can be substituted)
once boiling carefully separate and add the noodles I crisscross them to minimize sticking together
cook till tender then run under cool water.
preheat oven to 400 degrees
In a Large lasagna pan 9 by 13 or so I rub bottom and sides with olive oil then put about 1/2 cup of the meat mixture along with the entire bottom. Next start layering the noodles cover entire surface then spoon meat across the layer, use one-third of the ricotta cheese by dropping spoons evenly.
sprinkle one cup mozzarella across layer then repeat process 2 more times till top layer is reached add any remaining noodles and cheese on the top layer so it is a little thicker.
Bake until cheese starts to brown usually 35 mins or so.
