Lasagna
La Tisha Wammack
1 Jar spaghetti sauce
1 lb Italian sasuage
1-2 Packages of no boil lasagna noodles
3 C mozzarella cheese
2 C graded parmesan cheese
1 large container of ricotta cheese
2 eggs
Basil
In a large bowl combine ricotta cheese, eggs, 1 C of mozzarella cheese, 1 C of parmesan cheese and a generous dash of basil.
In a greased 9x13 pan place a small amount of sauce. Place a layer of noodles, then about 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture, 1/3 of the sauce, 1/3 of the meat and some mozzarella cheese. Repeat twice. On the top place a set of noodles, some more sauce and a final layer of mozzarella cheese and then sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese on top.
Cover with foil and bake at 375° for 50-60 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is all melted and slightly brown on top. Let sit for about 15 minutes, serve and enjoy.
This recipe is great to make a little extra and make a second lasagna to freeze and have at a later date. If you are cooking it from frozen it will take between 1 ½ and 2 hours to cook.

This is one of those recipes where I don't read directions or follow measurements but here is my best guess:
Brown 1lb of hamburger, add seasoning salt
Add 1 can of spaghettti sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, and cottage cheese, mix together and heat through,
Cut off the tops of hard rolls and scoop out the middle. Fill rolls with filling and replace top. Cover with tin foil and bake 350 for 20 minutes or until roll is starting to get crunchy and filling is warm.
