Classic Lasagna

Adapted from Kraftfoods.com

We love this recipe for lasagna. It has been one we've made again and again.

Ingredients:

1 medium onion
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons oil
3/4 pound ground beef
3/4 pound Italian sausage
onion salt to taste
garlic powder to taste
1 large can spaghetti sauce
1-15 ounce container Ricotta Cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, divided
salt and pepper to taste
3 eggs
2 tablespoons dried parsley
8 whole wheat lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
1 cup Mozzarella Cheese

Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil in large skillet until tender. Add ground beef and sausage; cook until browned. Add onion salt and garlic powder to taste. Drain grease. Stir spaghetti sauce in with meat. Simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Then add eggs.

Layer half each of the noodles, meat sauce and ricotta cheese mixture in 13x9 inch baking dish; repeat layers. Top with mozzarella cheese and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.

Bake 30-35 minutes or until heated through. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting to serve.

Note: Can substitute cottage cheese for the ricotta cheese.
