• 1/2 large onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups homemade or store bought marinara sauce no sugar added

Ricotta Layer

• 15 ounces whole-milk ricotta
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• fresh basil for garnish

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Spray a 10 to 12 inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium/high heat. Brown the sausage, beef and onion for about 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the pan. Add in garlic, salt and pepper and stir together for about 1 minute until garlic is fragrant.
3. Stir in marinara sauce and turn heat to low while you prepare the ricotta topping.
4. Mix together the ricotta, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
5. Spread the ricotta mixture over the meat mixture evently. Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Bake for 30 minutes.
6. Garnish with fresh chopped basil.

Note: Suzanne says you can add chopped spinach, diced zucchini, or sliced mushrooms to the meat mixture. If you do not have a cast iron skilley, you can use a regular skillet to cook the meat and use a 9×9 baking dish or 3 quart casserole dish and transfer the meat mixture into that and then to with ricotta mixture and mozzarella cheese.
