Y'all gotta try this. It makes a LOT of food:
2 pounds of mild Italian sausage
1 pound of ground beef
3 pounds of large shell noodle macaroni
2 9" X 4" X 1" blocks of mozarella cheese
1 pint of rocotta cheese
5 cans of tomato paste
one large white onion
one small jar of minced garlic
Cut ends off of the onion and remove the first, crispy layer. Place the onion on the bottom of a large 2-gallon pot. Put the garlic on top of the onion and cover with the tomato paste. Pour water until half full. Simmer on low.
In a smaller pot, cook the sausage and ground beef, continuously cutting it down into small bits while cooking. Dump into the sauce pot when done and mix together.
Keep sauce simmering for 10-12 hours, stirring about every 45 minutes. Start the oven preheating at 300 degrees.
Dice the mozarella cheese. Remove the onion from the sauce and put the rocotta and most of the mozarella cheese into the sauce and stir until well mixed (You'll need to save enough mozarella cheese for covering the tops of the final pans that will go into the oven). Set aside.
Cook the shell macaroni and put into as many large lasagna pans as you can find. Fill pans only about half way with the pasta and pout the sauce over the top enough to cover all of it. Place the pieces of mozarella that you didn't put into the sauce over the top of the sauce and place pans into the oven. Cook for 25-35 minutes.
This'll just about the the yummiest thing you'll have. I thought it up myself. I call it, "Lazyman's Lasagne (Because you don't have to bother cooking those long noodles and layer the stuff)."
Enjoy!
(If you want to make this, start the sauce now and it'll still be ready by dinnertime. It'll also make your house smell great all day!)
That sounds delicious. saving it to my computer now.
Sounds pretty good...actually!
Sound's delicious but how can it be a "lazyman" lasagna when I have to get up every 45 minutes for 12 hours to stir the sauce?
