Sugar’s Lasagna
My Daniel just loves all the beef in it! Ingredients: 2lbs of lean beef (4%) Or 1lb. lean ground beef and 1 lb. of beef kielbasa chopped 2lbs of mozzarella (saving a cup for topping) 1 16oz. Parmesan cheese (Kraft in container) 1 1lg container ( * Fresh parm can always be used as well * 14 ounce-16 ounce ricotta cheese, (brand precious) 1lg egg Salt and pepper to taste 12 lasagna noodles (boiling 2-3 extras in case one breaks) 1 can black, pitted olives 1sm. green pepper 1sm. red pepper 1sm. red onion Garlic to taste (Italian sausage (mild) At times I use "Hillshire" smoked Italian sausage) Salt for boiling water 1 med. bottle of "Prego" spaghetti sauce (I like to use the roasted garlic with mushrooms) Pam (to spray casserole dish Instructions: In a rolling boil of hot water, place noodles up to 12 minutes, or until noodles are slightly soften While noodles are boiling, heat and brown meat and sausage, and since I use the 4% lean beef, no need to drain... Adding veggies, all chopped, continue to stir, then pour entire spaghetti sauce in, for a slow simmer (don’t forget to season your beef with your choice of spices) Preheat oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes: On a piece of foil, lay out noodles to cool, being careful not to burn your fingers...smile... Now mix your cheeses, placing all cheeses in a bowl, and the egg, as the egg plays like glue Remember to save at least 1 cup of mozzarella for topping. Mix all together until dough like substance, making sure egg has been broken and spread throughout mixture. Add some pepper to cheese about half a tea spoon, or to taste Now the fun begins! 1st layer: your meat sauce 2nd: noodles 3: cheese repeat for 3 layers, being very generous with cheese, as you may have some left over, if that happens, and you have a few noodles left, take all left overs and roll up and place in oven for bit size stuffed noodles. The same foil paper you used to place the noodles on can be used to cover lasagna. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until all melted Remember your meat has already been browned... Last 15 minutes, remove foil and let sit for a few minutes more Removing out of the oven, to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
