Recipe Description

This family favorite recipe was always a specialty of my sister-in-law Bobbie. I’m so fortunate to have gotten her recipe years ago before she passed away from breast cancer.

Preparation Instructions

Boil your noodles according to the box.

Brown the ground beef and salsiccia and garlic.

Add Ragu sauce and Italian seasoning to browned meat and let simmer for about 15-20 mins.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Grease a 9×13 glass dish and layer 1/2 of your noodles. Tear up 3 pieces of American cheese and
3 pieces of mozzarella cheese, and place on top of noodles. (**placing the cheese on the noodles is a VERY important secret step)

Next pour 1/2 of your meat sauce over the cheese and noodles.

Now add the other 1/2 of your noodles and top with the other 3 slices of American cheese and 3 slices of provolone cheese.

Pour other 1/2 of your sauce over the 2nd layer of cheese and noodles, then top with remaining mozzarella cheese.

Place in oven on 350F for 45 mins.

Enjoy!

I actually got a hug and kiss for making this – from my picky 5-yr old! Thanks – we’ll definitely be making this again.

This looks so good that if I hadn’t already planned my dinner, and already begun cooking -I would MAKE this immediately!!

WOW – this looks amazingly delicious.

Thanks for the recipe. Always willing to taste and try new ways to make anything.

Your ideas are wonderful.

We loved this recipe! Will definitely make it again. I had to substitute Mostaccioli noodles for Penne but still just as good. If you haven’t tried it yet – - do!

This is such a tasty recipe and so easy! Next time I make it I’ll be adding in some whole wheat pasta to spice things up a bit. Thanks for the keeper!
