Creating this amazing Million Dollar Lasagna is easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Meats: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
4. Prepare Sauce: Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, sugar, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let simmer for about 20 minutes.
5. Mix Ricotta: In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
6. Boil Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
7. Layer Ingredients: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom. Layer with 4 noodles, 1/3 of the ricotta mixture, 1 cup mozzarella, and another layer of meat sauce. Repeat the layers two more times.
8. Final Layer: Top the last layer with the remaining noodles, meat sauce, 1 cup mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese.
9. Cover and Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil (avoid touching the cheese) and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes before slicing. This will help the layers hold together better.

These steps ensure that your Million Dollar Lasagna turns out flavorful and impressive every time!
