Grandma's Best Ever Sour Cream Lasagna

Recipe Ingredients

  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 1 pound of ground beef
  • 1 pound of Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 cups of marinara sauce
  • 2 cups of sour cream
  • 2 cups of ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons of dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage, cooking until browned.
  4. Stir in the marinara sauce and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Season with basil, salt, and pepper.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, ricotta cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese, mixing well.
  6. To assemble the lasagna, spread a layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
  7. Spoon half of the sour cream mixture on top of the noodles, followed by another layer of meat sauce. Repeat this layering process once more, finishing with the last 3 noodles topped with the remaining meat sauce.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the top.
  9. Cover with aluminum foil (to prevent sticking, spray the foil with cooking spray) and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  10. Let the lasagna cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious meal!
