lasagna rolls were a hit in my house tn!
-10 lasagna noodles
-1lb ground beef
-1 roll sausage
-1 med onion diced
-3/4 container of ricotta
-a big bag of shredded mozzarella
-2 cans sauce
cooked down the onions then browned sausage/beef all together & drained, boiled & laid out noodles, spread ricotta meat blend and some mozzarella cheese on top, roll (not too tight!), and coat the bottom of the pan with sauce so goods don’t stick the then put them in the pan, cover with sauce & cheese & bake at 425 for 20 min! I added seasoning to the ricotta and meat! served with garlic bread! I made enough to feed 6 with leftovers for tomorrow:)
