I adapted this from The Pioneer Woman's lasagna recipe... Just changed it up to match our flavor likings...
Mitch's Magnificent Meat Lasagna
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 sweet onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb. 93/7 ground beef
1 lb. Jimmy Dean Italian Sausage
2 (14.5 oz) cans whole tomatoes
2 (6 oz) cans tomato paste
2 Tablespoons dried parsley
2 Tablespoons dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups cottage cheese
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 whole beaten eggs
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 Tablespoons parsley
1 Tablespoon oregano
Ground pepper
Sliced mozzerella cheese
No cook lasagna noodles
1. On medium high heat, throw in the chopped onion and olive oil to soften. Add the minced garlic. Add the ground beef and sausage. Cook until brown.
2. To the meat and onion mixture, add all cans of tomatoes and tomato paste, as well as the basil and parsley. Throw in a little salt and freshly ground pepper. Simmer on medium low heat for 45 minutes, uncovered.
3. While the meat cooks, mix up the ricotta, cottage cheese, two mixed up eggs, parmesan and 1 Tablespoon of parsley and 1 Tablespoon of oregano. Put to the side until ready to layer.
4. Layer starting with a thin layer of the sauce and ending with sauce. Bake at 350 degrees for a half an hour.
