valmg's lasagna

I usually only make lasagna in the colder months because of the way it heats up the house. I always make at least two big trays of it. I use 2 boxes of Roonzoni no bake lasagna noodles, 2 pounds of ground beef, 2 pounds of sweet Italian sausage, 1 huge container of ricotta cheese, 1 large bag of shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 jars of red sauce and seasonings. I’ll do the best I can, because this isn’t something I have written down. It took me a couple of years to get it just right.

Preheat oven according to package.
Cook your ground beef and sausage, making sure the final product is crumbled into small chunks.
Mix the ground beef and sausage together and stir in some ricotta to hold it together.
Season to taste.
