Fantastic Lasagna (No Ricatta)

This is a recipe I came up with using some of the basics from my Mom’s easy lasagna recipe. Shawn has labeled this the “perfect” lasagna! VERY YUMMY!



Ingredients:
~9 lasagna noodles
~½ lb hamburger, cooked and seasoned
~½ lb sausage (any), cooked (OR TOTAL OF 1 LB HAMBURGER)
~2 large cans spaghetti sauce
~4 eggs
~1 cup dehydrated parmesan cheese
~Cheddar cheese
~Grated mozzarella (I’ve used all cheddar and it was great too)

Directions: Cook noodles and lay out on saran wrap, foil, or parchment paper to cool. In a skillet, place hamburger meat and season. Then add sausage. Cook through and add spaghetti sauce; warm. In a small bowl, beat eggs & parmesan cheese. Cover the bottom of a 9x13 pan with a small amount of the spaghetti sauce/meat mixture.
Layers: Lay 3 lasagna noodles over on bottom of pan (over sauce), 1/3 egg/parmesan mixture, 1/3 of the spaghetti/meat mixture, sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Repeat layers 3 times. Top with mozzarella cheese.

TIP: You can sprinkle parsley on top of anything topped with cheese and it adds a colorful, elegant look. Bake 350 degrees for about 45 minutes. Don’t let the cheese get hard and yucky. This is great with French bread!
