Instructions

Make the Meat Sauce

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, Italian sausage, diced onion, and green bell pepper until the meat is completely cooked through and the vegetables have softened.
3. Drain the excess grease and return the meat mixture to the skillet.
4. Add the minced garlic, McCormick Spaghetti Seasoning, tomato paste, Prego sauce, CRAVE Italian Seasoning, CRAVE All Purpose Seasoning, basil, thyme, and oregano.
5. Mix well, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Lasagna Noodles

6. While the sauce is simmering, cook approximately 12 lasagna noodles according to the package directions.
7. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot.
8. Add cold water to the pot to cool the noodles and keep them from sticking together while you assemble the lasagna.
