Ingredients
  

Sauce

  • 1 14.5 ounce can Rotel
  • 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3/4 cup - 1 cup water your preference on consistency
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan Sea Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Noodles

  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 6 ounces cream cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

The Rest

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground sausage
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese divided

Instructions
 

Sauce

  • Add Rotel, tomato sauce and tomato paste to a food processor. Blend for 15 seconds to get rid of chunks.
  • Add tomato mixture, water, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper to a medium sauce pan.
  • Mix well and simmer for 15-20 minutes (or however long you want/need).
  • Set aside when done

Noodles

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line 2 13x9 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Melt Mozzarella cheese and cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl.
  • In a small bowl, add eggs and Italian seasoning. Beat with a fork.
  • Add egg mixture to cheese mixture.
  • With CLEAN hands, continually squish the dough between your fingers until WELL blended. Don't worry - it will get there!
  • Split dough into 2 equal parts.
  • On each prepared baking sheet, spread mixture out to approximately 12x8. Meaning, you don't need to go all the way to the edges.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden brown.
  • Let cool for about 10 minute and then cut each sheet into 8x8 and 8x4 chunks. So you'll just make one cut around the 4 inch mark and that will make the 2 perfect size sheets. You may end up trimming the edges when it is time to put it in the baking dish. I always do!
  • Set aside when done.

Meat Mixture

  • In a large pan, combine the ground beef, ground sausage, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook over medium-high heat until meat is fully cooked.
  • Drain excess grease and add 2 cups (not the whole batch) of marinara sauce to the pan with meat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Save the remaining sauce.

Putting it all together

  • Spray a deep dish 8x8 baking dish with Avocado oil or olive oil.
  • Place the first noodle in the dish. Use one of the larger 8x8 pieces.
  • On top of the noodle layer, add 1/3 cup ricotta cheese and spread evenly.
  • Then layer 1/3 of the meat sauce, followed by 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese.
  • Next place the 2 noodles that are 8x4 side by side and repeat the exact layers (noodle, ricotta, meat layer, Mozzarella).
  • Finally place the remaining noodle, add ricotta and meat sauce.
  • Add remaining sauce on top of meat layer.
  • Finally top with last 1/2 cup of Mozzarella cheese.
  • Sprinkle with oregano (if desired).
  • Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, then raise temperature to 375 and bake for 10 more minutes.
  • Let sit for a few minutes before serving.
