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:

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.
