Sic_un's Lasagne
1 lb mild Italian sausage
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1/2 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup diced black olives
2 cans petite diced tomatoes with garlic and basil (14.5 oz cans)
2-3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 cups tomato sauce (2-8 oz cans)
1/2 tsp sage
1 tsp fennel
3/4 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp Jane's Mixed up Pepper (if you can find it. If not, Mrs. Dash or equivilant)
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 box dried lasagne noodles
4 to 5 cups shredded mozzerella cheese (can also use 'italian combination')
Preheat oven to 375.
Brown Italian sausage in large sauté pan over medium heat. Drain fat, set aside. Brown ground beef in large sauté pan with finely chopped onion over medium heat. Drain fat, add reserved sausage to beef in pan.
Stir in garlic, mix to combine. Add coarsely chopped onion and bell pepper. Stir in 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can tomato sauce. Mix, bring to a bubble over medium heat.
Add herbs, remaining tomatoes and tomato sauce, and olives. Taste, adjust salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for approximately 1 hour.
Prepare noodles according to package directions.
Layer into a 13x9 baking dish as follows:
Noodles
Sauce
Cheese
(Sic_un ended up with 3 layers.)
(He wanted me to specifically show the pan size issue solved. You layer a noodle over the blank spot.)
Bake for approximately 30-45 minutes or until cheese is bubbled and slightly browned. (at this point, the camera ran out of batteries. Sorry)
(and because he'll call me on it, Sic_un actually had the herbs split up into 3 additions-one with beef browning, one with the 'add herbs', and one during the simmer process)
AND....
I found Mom's Christmas Present.... She's got throws, she's got afghans, she's got blankets. She doesn't have a quilt.
a real honest to goodness Tennessee quilt... Pinwheel pattern and it matches her bedroom.
