• 9 lasagna noodles
• 1 pound (lbs.) ground beef
• 1 pound (lbs.) Italian sausage
• 1 teaspoon (tsp) garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon (tsp) dried oregano
• ¹/₂ teaspoon (tsp) dried thyme

• 1 teaspoon (tsp) black pepper
• 1 container (15oz) ricotta cheese
• 3 eggs, beaten
• ¹/₃ cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add lasagna noodles. Cook until al dente, 8-10 minutes
3. In another large pot, cook ground beef and Italian sausage. Drain grease.
4. Stir in garlic salt, oregano, thyme, basil, tomato sauce, pepper, and salt to taste. Simmer for 30 minutes
5. In a medium bowl, mix together ricotta cheese, eggs, and parmesan cheese
6. Ladle enough of the meat sauce into a 9×13 inch baking dish to cover the bottom in a thin layer. Form a layer atop the sauce with 3 of the lasagna noodles. Spread about ¹/₄ of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle about ¹/₃ of the mozzarella cheese over the ricotta cheese mixture and then ladle about ¹/₃ of the meat sauce over the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layering twice more, topping with the remaining ¹/₄ pound of mozzarella cheese
7. Bake uncovered for 1 hour, or until the cheese is browned
