Momma Glahn's Lasagna

So I guess I have to admit Disclaimer: It's my lasagna. I AM Momma Glahn, to make a short story shorter there is no other Mrs. Glahn in our family so I get to be Momma Glahn, least that's my plan, to go do in family history as THE Momma Glahn...

My recipe is has been in the works for awhile now, I got the idea from the fact I love stuffed shells and my husband does not, I searched for a recipe that would at least be tolerable to him and in that search found the foundation for my lasagna. It doesn't have ricotta cheese as that's a deal breaker for my hubby and it was the ultimate honor this year to make a version for my ILs at Christmas. My FIL had seconds which is a good sign... =) I made this version recently and decided its the recipe. We had new friends over for dinner; I've been really trying to make new friends, reach out to old ones, and make stronger more social friendships and relationships with those around me, so when they asked for the recipe it was a huge moment for me...Also I found my lasagna pan... Its a 3QT Pyrex casserole dish, its like the perfect size... No photos =(  I was in between cameras thanks to a cracked screen by my oldest when we had our dinner but I'll be making again soon!

Momma Glahn's Lasagna

- 1lb. ground Italian sausage
- 1lb. ground beef
- 2 jars of your favorite pasta sauce (I want to learn to make my own sometime soon)
- Box of lasagna noodles
- 1/2 container of Savory Garlic cooking creme
- 3 Bags of shredded Mozzarella cheese

1. Boil your noodles. Season and brown your meats. I usually do them one at a time and add them to a  pot that becomes my meat filling. Add some pasta sauce to the meats, it should be meaty not saucey. Add the cooking creme, the cooking creme will thin it out some but you don't want it to be liquidy you want it to be meaty. Add a handful of shredded cheese to thicken it up some if you need to.

2. Spoon some pasta sauce on the bottom of your lasagna pan and begin to layer your noodles. Lay the noodle, spoon and spread half the meat sauce, top with a bag of cheese, add another layer of noodles then the other half of the meat and another bag of cheese. Top with noddles, a little pasta sauce and the last bag of cheese

3. Pop into a 350 oven and bake 45-60 minutes, until the cheese on top is melty, bubbly, and browned... So yummy.... Serve with a salad and garlic bread and the perfect dinner for company...

*** I held on to this post for awhile in hopes I'd be making it again and would have photos to add but I haven't yet and I'm not sure when I'll make it again so I thought I'd go ahead and share...
