Ultimate Spaghetti Sauce Cooking Video

Ricotta cheese mixture (see below)
Box of lasagna (I use the Barilla no-cook lasagna)
Sauce
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese

Cheese mixture:

1 15 oz. container low fat ricotta cheese
2 c mozzarella cheese
1/2 c Parmesan cheese
1 eggs
1 tbsp. parsley flakes

Mix together well.

In a 9 x 13 glass pan, spray the bottom lightly and then add a thin layer of sauce on the bottom. Take lasagna piece and spread the cheese mixture on top and lay on the sauce, do this three time to make the bottom layer. Pour sauce on top of the cheese mixture on each layer. Then start the second layer and spread the cheese mixture on top and place on top of sauce of the first layer. Once all three are covered add sauce to each piece of the second layer. Then create a third cheese layer and lay on top of second. This time you will want to use more sauce and cover the entire top of the lasagna. Spread two cups of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese on top.

Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. If cheese begins to brown too quickly, add tinfoil to the top and continue baking.

Meat & Cheese Lasagna

**Start heating up oil for onion rings**

Grill bacon burgers on grill. If you don’t precook the ground bacon at all, the burgers cannot be medium rare because the bacon needs to cook all the way through.

Cut up onions and peppers and place into a piece of tinfoil. Sprinkle some virgin olive oil over the top, close up and place onto grill next to burgers. The grill will slowly cook the veggies and they are so good.

Put in the onion rings to the fryer, they take about three minutes. Melt cheese on burgers and I also prefer a toasted bun. Place burger on bun once cheese is melted, add sauted onions and jalapenos, onion rings, and top with BBQ sauce. That’s it, no ketchup, mustard or relish. It’s wonderful.

Serve with baked beans for a complimentary side dish.

Cook ground beef, sausage, onion, bell peppers, and garlic in large pot (crock pot works well too). Cook until peppers and onions are tender and then add all remaining ingredients. Bring to bubbly plop noise level and then turn on low to simmer for two to three hours.

This is a veggie sauce I made for a friend. After tasting it, I realized that I do prefer mine with meat and the flavors the meat provides. Good nonetheless and definitely usable for Chicken Parmesan!
