Killer Lasagna

---

This was originally my mom's recipe and used to be a favorite when we were kids. I always requested it for my birthday dinner.

---

Steps

---

Brown the sausage and ground meat and drain all the fat.

---

Add all the other ingredients for the meat filling and simmer on the stove , uncovered , for about 1 / 2 hour.

---

I usually add a bay leaf or two.

---

Mix up the cheese filling and set aside in fridge until ready to use.

---

Put the noodles in salted water and cook until soft when poked with a fork.

---

When the noodles are done , drain the noodles and rinse off with cold water so they can be handled easily.

---

Spray the baking pan with a non-stick spray and put a layer of noodles down on the bottom of the pan.

---

It is ok to cut some of the noodles to fit into the pan if they do not fit whole.

---

Spread half the cheese filling over the noodels , then half of the mozarella cheese on top of that , then half of the meat sauce over the grated mozarella cheese.

---

Repeat layers and then top with more mozarella cheese.

---

Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

---

Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into it.

---

Leftovers can be easily stored in the freezer.
