First up, we have an eye-catching image that perfectly captures the essence of this meaty masterpiece. Just look at that cheesy, bubbling goodness!
Ingredients for the Ultimate Meat Lasagna
Before we jump into cooking, let’s take a moment to gather all the goodies you’ll need:
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions to Create This Culinary Wonder
Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty and whip up this lasagna!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). You want all that cheesy goodness to melt into a symphony of flavors!
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until browned. Drain any excess fat. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil.
- In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, eggs, and half of the Parmesan cheese. This blend is the secret to lasagna magic!
- Now, it’s layering time! Start with a thin layer of marinara sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Follow this with four sheets of lasagna noodles, half of the meat mixture, half of the ricotta mixture, and a third of the mozzarella.
- Add another layer of sauce, then repeat the process until you’re out of ingredients, finishing with a final layer of noodles covered in sauce and topped with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let it cool for a few minutes (if you can resist), slice, and serve up a hearty portion of happiness!
And there you have it! An ultimate meat lasagna that not only fills your belly but also warms your heart. Enjoy every cheesy bite and don’t forget to share with friends, or maybe just keep it to yourself. We won’t judge!
