Hey everyone, hope you are having an amazing day today. Today, we’re going to make a distinctive dish, meaty lasagna. It is one of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I will make it a bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
There are only two things you need for great lasagna: a thick, rich, super-meaty meat sauce and lots of it, and a ricotta filling where only the finest cheeses are welcomed. For the sauce, I love a combination of half Italian sausage and half lean ground beef. A family-pleasing version of lasagna is made with lean ground beef, whole wheat lasagna noodles, prepared sauce, and plenty of mozzarella for a dish that's easy yet hearty.
Meaty Lasagna is one of the most well liked of recent trending foods on earth. It is enjoyed by millions daily. It’s easy, it is fast, it tastes delicious. Meaty Lasagna is something that I’ve loved my whole life. They’re fine and they look fantastic.
To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can cook meaty lasagna using 6 ingredients and 12 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Meaty Lasagna:
- Get 1 box lasagna noodles
- Make ready 1 lb ground beef
- Prepare 1 lb loose Italian sausage
- Prepare 2 jars your favorite spaghetti sauce
- Make ready 6-8 cups shredded cheese -Italian blend works best

This classic meat lasagna recipe from Paula Deen is a comfort food meal perfect for family suppers. Ingredients include Italian sausage, cottage cheese and ground chuck. Arrange the noodles in a single layer over the meat sauce.
Instructions to make Meaty Lasagna:
- Brown the meat. I brown each pound separately adding a tablespoon of Italian seasoning each batch.
- In a large pot mix all the browned meat with the jars of spaghetti sauce. Add Italian seasoning and sugar too taste. Bring to a simmer.
- While you are browning the meat bring a large stockpot of water to a boil. Add salt to taste and 2 tablespoons olive oil to help reduce sticking.
- Sauce should be simmering and water boiling. When water reaches a boil add pasta sheets one sheet at a time. Continue boiling for 10 minutes. When you add the pasta to the water turn off heat on sauce.
- When pasta is finished cooking drain and immediately rinse with cold water.
- In a large casserole dish ladle approximately 1 1/2 cups into the bottom. Spread all over.
- Next lay out 4 lasagna noodles.
- Spread another 1 1/2 - 2 cups of sauce over noodles. Then evenly spread 2 cups of shredding cheese.
- Continue that order…noodles/sauce/cheese for 4 layers. I press down on the noodles as I place them.
- Cover and bake at 350F for 50 minutes. Remove cover and finish baking for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- This is a thick dense lasagna that cuts into perfect pieces. A small piece goes a long way.
Repeat the layers and top with cheese. Cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles.
