(1) lb mild ground italian sausage
(2) regular jars of Bertoli 5 cheese sauce
(1) 8 oz. box lasagna noodles
(2) cups shredded mozzarella - divided
(1) cup grated parmesan
1/4 lb shredded gouda (optional)
(1) 15oz. container ricotta
(3) eggs beaten lightly
(1) tsp Italian seasoning
(1) tsp garlic salt
1/2 cup shredded colby jack
cayenne pepper - pinch
(1) clove garlic
Preheat oven to 350
Brown beef and sausage together, adding Italian seasoning and garlic salt, and fresh crushed garlic...drain. Be sure to crumble meat as small as possible as it cooks. I actually add about half a cup of water to help break it into smaller pieces - makes spreading it later go smoother. I'm just sayin...
While meat is cooking, mix together 1 cup mozzarella, parmesan, gouda, ricotta and eggs in large bowl.
In another bowl, combine meat with sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper, mix well.
Cover the bottom of a 9"x13" glass pan with sauce mix, then add a layer of noodles, followed by a layer of cheese...sauce, noodles, cheese, sauce noodles, cheese...top with remaining mozzarella.
Cover with aluminum foil, bake for 55 minutes.
Remove foil, add colby jack, bake for another 10-15 minutes.
Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
ENJOY!! I know I do...and so does everyone I have prepared it for. :-)
