Ingredients

8 ounces ground beef
8 ounces Italian sausage, casings removed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup beef broth
1 (24-ounce) jar of your favorite marinara sauce (we like Rao's)
5 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese + additional for serving
2 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or 6 slices mozzarella)
Fresh basil leaves, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Brown and crumble beef and sausage in a medium-large skillet on medium-low heat. Drain excess drippings. Add oregano, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook about 30 seconds until garlic is fragrant.
Add broth and scrape bits from bottom of pan, then mix in sauce and lasagna pieces. Cover and simmer 20-25 minutes or until pasta is tender. Stir occasionally.
Add parmesan cheese and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or 2 slices). Stir to combine. Add another cup of mozzarella (or 4 slices) to top. Cover and simmer 1-2 minutes or until cheese has melted.
Serve with fresh basil and garlic bread (optional). Make it a meal with a salad or vegetable.

Notes

Make it vegetarian with Beyond beef and sausage and substitute vegetable broth for beef broth.
Shredded cheese is best, but sliced or bagged cheese also work great as a shortcut. Also try fresh mozzarella.
