Step by Step Method

Step 1

Cook onion in olive oil in a large skillet until tender, several minutes.

Add garlic, ground beef, italian sausage, basil, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper to pan and cook until meat is thoroughly browned and breaking up lumps as it cooks.

Drain fat.

Step 4

Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, and brown sugar to pan, mixing well.

Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, eggs, parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley until smooth.

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Step 9

In a large lasagna baking pan, place 1/3-1/2 of meat sauce in bottom of pan (just enough to cover).

I served this "meat lovers" lasagna to dinner party guests last night w/Italian casserole bread & an avocado, mango & shrimp salad. It's hands-down the best lasagna I've ever made & the high praise (& appetites) of my guests proved it. I made minor chgs. I used lasagna sheets that don't require pre-cooking & added black olives (for DH). He is salt-restricted after a kidney transplant & I only used pepperoni on part of the dish, but that part was instantly gone. I cannot wait for the leftovers today! Thx for sharing this sure-to-be-repeated & yummy gem. (Pics will be posted later today)
