Ingredients
1 28 oz. can Italian tomatoes
1 pound ground beef
1/4 pound ground Italian sausage
1 small onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1 6 oz. can tomato paste
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 30 oz. container Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
4 oz. lasagna noodles – no cook style
8 oz. Cheddar or Jack cheese cubes
1 4 oz. can sliced black olives

Method
Meat Sauce: Cook beef, onion, and sausage until well browned. Drain fat, and add sugar, oregano, crushed red pepper, bay leaf, salt, thyme, garlic salt, tomatoes with juice, and tomato paste. Simmer covered, for 30 minutes, then discard the bay leaf. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix eggs and ricotta and 1/2 of the Parmesan in a bowl. Cover the bottom of a glass baking dish with a little bit of the sauce. Layer 1/2 of the noodles, half of the Ricotta-egg mixture, 1/2 cubed jack cheese, and 1/2 of the meat sauce. Repeat layers. Sprinkle olives and remaining Parmesan cheese and grated Cheddar cheese on top. Bake for 60 minutes covered and finish uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
