Karen's Lasagna
This is Traci’s mother's lasagna recipe—a classic. We've made it our own, and our guests always love it.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 lb. ground beef
- ½ lb. Italian sausage
- 15 oz. can diced tomatoes
- (2) 8 oz. cans tomato sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 small carton cottage or Ricotta cheese
- ½ lb. Mozzarella cheese, shredded or grated
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 lb. lasagna noodles
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, diced
How To Make:
Preheat over to 350F.
Cook lasagna noodles according to directions.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan brown ground beef and sausage until no longer pink, about 10 min.
Add onion, 1 teaspoon salt, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano and pepper. Cook over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 5 min.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the three cheeses.
In a 9x13 casserole dish, spread a layer of the meat and tomato sauce. Add a layer of lasagna noodles, then sauce, then cheese. Repeat with more noodles, sauce and finally cheese.
Bake at 350F for 25 min. Add the parsley and bake 5 min more.
Note: You can prepare ahead of time and bake later. If you do, add 20 min.
Prep time: 20 min. Cook time: 1 hour. Serves: 8.

Sometimes we will make this with our bolognese sauce instead.
