Mama's Lasagna

- 1/2 lb ground sweet Italian sausage
- 2 large white onions (chopped)
- 10-12 cloves (Lots) garlic (minced)
- 28 oz canned whole tomatoes
- 1 qt milk
- 3 slices Velveeta cheese
- 6 provolone cheese slices
- 2 cups Italian 5 cheese blend (shredded)
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- Handful rosemary
- 2 boxes flat lasagna noodles
- 3/4 cup flour
- 2 full sticks of butter
- 1 tbls ground cinnamon
- 1/2 chicken bouillon
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3/4 tbls ground nutmeg
- Meat sauce: -put ROSEMARY and SAGE in herb net -Put some oil and butter in pot and saute ONION and GARLIC -add SAUSAGE and BEEF; brown -blend TOMATOES; add to pot -add 1tsp BLACK PEPPER, 1tbls CINNAMON, 1tsp SUGAR, 1/2 BOUILLON to pot -add ROSEMARY and SAGE in net to the pot -simmer until most of the water cooks off -add 3 slices VELVEETA -remove from heat and set aside
- Butter sauce: -in another pot, melt 3tbls BUTTER -add quart of MILK, bring to simmer -add 3/4tbls NUTMEG -add 1/2tsp SALT -add 1/2tsp PEPPER -slowly add FLOUR to thicken (be careful!)
- Noodles: -boil water, oil, and salt -get 2 large bowls; one w/ ice water, other w/water and a little oil -boil the noodles just maybe 2 at a time.
- Careful not to let them break or stick to each other -remove noodle, place in ice to cool(and rinse), then in oil/water mix.
- -place noodle on dry towel and pat dry as you go.
- *NOT A GOOD IDEA to do all noodles at the same time.
- They will dry up while your trying to make your layers.
- Make them as you go.
- Layer and bake: -in a large dish, spoon out MEAT SAUCE and BUTTER SAUCE on the bottom and coat the bottom of dish -add layer of cooked noodles ask the way to edges -add another coat of SAUCES -add just one type of CHEESE.
- -repeat steps while alternating CHEESE types between layers.
- Make sure you have enough SAUCES and CHEESE to go on top!
- *this should be enough ingredients to make 4 layers of noodles, which includes the bottom one.
- -cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 40 minutes.
- You can uncover for the last 5-10 minutes if you like the "crunch", but I don't.
- -take out, uncover, and let sit for 5-8 minutes to allow for easier cutting/serving and a better presentation.
- --->this is a cheesy, gooey, fattening, greasy, delicious, and special meal.
- You can adjust by browning and draining meat, using butter substitute, and low fat cheeses.
