Discover the Million Dollar Lasagna Recipe, an indulgent dish that delivers rich flavors and creamy textures perfect for family dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 lb Italian Sausage
- 1 medium Onion finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 28 oz Crushed Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoon Tomato Paste
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black Pepper
Instructions
- Brown the meats and aromatics in a large skillet until no pink remains, then drain off any excess grease.
- Simmer the sauce by stirring in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let it bubble gently for 15-20 minutes.
- Whip up the cheese mixture in a separate bowl. Combine ricotta (or cottage cheese), softened cream cheese, sour cream, and Parmesan until perfectly smooth.
- Layer with love: Spread a thin sauce layer in your baking dish, followed by noodles, a generous spread of cheese mixture, and more meat sauce. Repeat.
- Top and Bake with mozzarella cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake for 20 more minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Let it rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the layers to set beautifully for easy slicing.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For the creamiest layer, ensure your cream cheese is properly softened. Don’t rush the sauce; a low simmer allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
