Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 24 ounces Marinara sauce
- 15 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 3 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 9 sheets No-boil lasagna noodles
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking the meat apart with a spatula, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Step 3
Stir the marinara sauce into the cooked meat. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer while you prepare the other components, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
Step 5
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom. Lay 3 no-boil lasagna noodles evenly over the sauce.
Step 6
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella on top.
Step 7
Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with a layer of sauce and a generous topping of mozzarella cheese.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is golden and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Meat Lovers Cheating Lasagna!
