my mom's lasagna

i made this for dinner last night. it's amazing, so company worthy and kids eat it up. the  recipe isn't perfect with measurements.

1lb. of ground beef and 1lb. of mild italian sausage, browned with a little onion and drained.
to that add a large large jar of spaghetti sauce and 2 jars of pizza sauce. a little sugar and italian seasoning. simmer till hot.
in a mixing bowl mix a large container of ricotta cheese with 1 egg.
have a lot mozarella cheese. the good stuff from the deli. about a pound sliced.
a package of pepperoni, the trick is to put it on a plate with a paper towel under it ad over it and microwave just about 20 seconds. soak up the grease with the paper towels. this will keep the grease out of your lasagna.
a box of lasagna noodles. i like the oven ready so there's no boiling needed.
shredded mozarella for the top.

in a well greased 13x9 lasagna dish start with a small layer of sauce on the bottom. noodles always go on the sauce. a thin layer of ricotta, a layer of sliced mozarella, & a layer of pepperoni. repeat ending with sauce on top and sprinkle with you shredded mozarella. if you have pepperoni left put those on top of cheese to look pretty.

cover with foil, but make a little tent with it so it doesn't stick to your cheese. bake at 350 about 30 minutes. remove the foil for about 15 minutes more so that the cheese can brown. you want the dish to be bubbly hot. if your cheese is browning too fast turn the oven down to 300.

when you take it out of the oven let it sit about 20 minutes. doing this makes it cut pretty and all your layers will stay in place.

i've bought those metal pans and made 2 and froze one and it came out beautiful.

if someone has a baby or has a sick relative, death in the family etc. this is the dish to make and take.
