CopyCat Olive Garden Lasagna

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound Italian sausage
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups marinara sauce
15 ounces ricotta cheese
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
12 lasagna noodles, cooked
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, to taste

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant.

Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes to combine the flavors. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, beaten egg, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Spread a thin layer of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Layer the cooked lasagna noodles on top, then add a layer of the ricotta mixture, followed by a generous layer of meat sauce. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mozzarella cheese on top.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.

Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
