Instructions

  • Prepare the Meat Sauce: Cook sweet Italian sausage, ground beef, and minced onion until browned. Add garlic, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, and seasonings. Simmer for 1 ½ hours, stirring occasionally.

  • Make sure to drain excess fat from the meat to avoid a greasy lasagna.
