Ingredients
Meat Sauce
- 1 lb. Ground Beef
- 1 lb. Ground Italian Sausage
- 1 Onion Diced Small
- 4 oz Mushrooms Sliced
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 3 Garlic Cloves Minced
- 2 24 oz Spaghetti Sauce
Cheese Filling
- 2 8 oz Blocks of Cream Cheese Room Temperature
- 24 oz Small Curd Cottage Cheese
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 Cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Divided
- 12 oz Oven Ready Lasagna Noodles
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
- To a large pot over medium heat, add beef and sausage. Break up the meat while browning. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Halfway through browning add mushrooms and onions. Continue cooking until the meat is brown. Add in garlic cloves and spaghetti sauce. Bring to a simmer and stir occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- To a large bowl, mix all the cheese ingredients, besides 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Spray a deep dish 9 x 13 with non-stick cooking spray. Add ½ cup of meat sauce, noodles, 1/3 of the meat sauce, ½ of the cheese filling, noodles, sauce, cheese, and repeat. Top with remaining mozzarella.
- Place in the oven (I put this on top of a larger baking dish to catch any drippings) and bake for 40-45 minutes. If the cheese starts to get to brown cover with foil.
- Let it rest on the counter for 20 minutes then dig in!
