Once the lasagna is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time allows the layers to set and makes it easier to cut into neat, clean slices. Serve warm with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad for the ultimate comfort meal.
Serving Suggestions
This Million Dollar Lasagna pairs beautifully with a light side salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness of the dish. For added indulgence, serve with a side of buttery garlic bread or crusty rolls to soak up any extra sauce!
Make-Ahead & Storage
You can make this lasagna ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before baking. Simply assemble the lasagna, cover it tightly with foil, and refrigerate until ready to bake. You can also freeze the assembled lasagna for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, allow it to thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake as directed. Leftover lasagna can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
Tips
- If you prefer a lighter version, try using ground turkey or chicken in place of the beef and sausage.
- For extra flavor, add some fresh basil or oregano to the meat sauce as it simmers.
- If you’re looking for a lower-fat version, use part-skim ricotta cheese and mozzarella.
