Ingredients
- 2 lbs of ground beef
- ½ tbsp of salt
- 1 tsp of ground pepper
- 1 tsp of garlic powder
- 1 onion diced
- 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese
- 2 jars of pasta sauce
- 1 box of lasagna noodles
Cheese filling
- 32 oz of ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces of mozzarella plus about 1/4 cup for topping
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup of fresh chopped parsley
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the meat with the onions and seasonings.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Combine the cheese-filling ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Assemble the layers in a 7 qt dutch oven, starting with a thin layer of pasta sauce, then noodles, meat, ricotta mixture, and repeat until you run out of layers.
- Top with the parmesan and a little mozzarella before covering and baking at 375°F for an hour & 15 minutes, removing the lid for the last 15 minutes.
- Let it sit for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to dot layers of ricotta mixture throughout the dish. The cheese will add a lovely creaminess and delicious flavor when it melts into the tomato sauce.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Finally, top your lasagna with some fresh herbs like basil and oregano for an herbal aroma and color pop. Enjoy!
