Lasagna

SAUCE
1 Jar Ragu Spaghetti Sauce (I use Robusto Garlic)
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 6 oz can tomato paste
1 6 oz can water
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes or tomoto puree
1 lb ground whatever
1 lb mild italian sausage
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/8 cup brown sugar
oregano
basil
parsley
garlic
onion flakes or powder

*Brown meats. Drain
*Mix all canned products in crock pot.
*Mix in cheese and brown sugar; add meat.
*No idea on measurements...I sprinkle each spice pretty generously over the sauce in the pot. Lighter on the oregano and basil, just b/c they are stronger tastes. Heavy on the garlic, if you like garlic!
*Simmer a couple hours or all day in crock pot.

LASAGNA
Sauce
9 lasagna noodles
8 oz ricotta cheese
parmesan cheese
a few cups mozzarella cheese

*Spread a thin layer of sauce on bottom of 9x13 dish.
*3 Lasagna Noodles
*Thin spread of Ricotta
*Sprinkle Parmesan
*1/3 of sauce
*1/3 mozza
*Repeat to make 3 layers. Will completely fill dish to top.
*Bake 30 min or until warm throughout on 350. Bake on cookie sheet to keep any "boil-over" off bottom of oven.

Notes:
This is an awesome recipe!!! The sauce makes it great! Use whatever kind of meat you have--ground beef, turkey, venison. My mom got this from a caterer/friend at our home church. I have adapted it to make it meatier and thicker. You can use this sauce for any noodles to make various pastas--spaghetti, mustaccioli, etc. YUMMO!! :)
