Ingredients
- 16 lasagna noodles
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound mild italian sausage casings removed
- ½ cup diced onion
- 2 cups spaghetti sauce
- 2 15 ounce containers ricotta cheese
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 egg
To cook:
- 3 cups spaghetti sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions.
- In a large (12 inch) skillet over medium-high heat, cook beef, sausage, and onion, crumbling the meat as it cooks until it is no longer pink. Drain well. Return the meat mixture to the skillet and stir in 2 cups spaghetti sauce. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together the ricotta cheese, Italian seasoning, and egg.
- Spread each noodle with the ricotta mixture, leaving about 1 inch uncoated, and then spread a layer of meat sauce over the cheese.
- Roll up the lasagna noodle towards the uncoated end.
Notes
- To freeze: Transfer the lasagna roll ups to the baking sheet. Cover and freeze until frozen. Then transfer to an airtight container. Freeze up to 3 months.
- To bake: Prepare two 9x13 casserole dishes with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the lasagna roll ups between the two dishes. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Remove the casserole dishes from the refrigerator as the oven preheats. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pour spaghetti sauce over the lasagna rolls and cover the casserole dishes with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and cover with the cheese. Bake uncovered for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Allow to rest 5 minutes prior to serving.
