Ingredients
1 lb browned ground beef
1 lb browned italian sausage
2 jars tomato based Pasta Sauce
12 Lasagna noodles cooked per package instruction
12 oz pepperonis two packages
4 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
8 oz Ricotta Cheese
4 oz Grated Parmesan Cheese


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350.

While the oven is preheating, brown the ground beef and the Italian sausage over medium heat in a frying pan. When browned, remove each from the heat and reserve. Cook the Lasagna noodles according to package instructions and reserve.

In a 9×13 baking dish Spoon several spoonfuls of the pasta sauce into the baking dish.
Begin layering the ingredients as follows: 3 lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the pasta sauce, ⅓ of the browned ground beef, ⅓ of the Italian sausage, ⅓ of the pepperonis, ⅓ of the Mozzarella Cheese, ⅓ of the Ricotta Cheese, ⅓ of the parmesan. End with the cheeses on top.

Place the 9×13 pan on a baking sheet and place on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 45-55 mins until heated through and bubbly. Cheese will be melted throughout and the edges will be browned. If you like yours less browned, lightly cover with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and serve hot. Great with garlic bread and a salad!
