1 lb ground beef and 1 lb hot sausage; cottage cheese instead of ricotta; 30min at 375 and 4min under broiler. Really good for a crowd, serves 10-12

Makes leftovers

Add 1/2 t garlic powder, onion powder, 1/4 t ground thyme, used crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Used turkey instead of beef Mix cheeses in a big bowl. Too much for 9x13 Takes longer to make than it would seem. 3/3 Kids approved,
