Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cook the ground beef and sausage in a large pot over medium heat; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, mushrooms, garlic salt, oregano, thyme, and basil; season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles with olive oil in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until slightly firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, mix the ricotta cheese, eggs, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl.

Cover the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of meat sauce; place 3 lasagna noodles on top. Spread about 1/3 of the ricotta cheese mixture over the noodles; sprinkle about 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese on top. Spoon about 1/3 of the meat sauce over the mozzarella. Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts and the sauce bubbles, about 90 minutes. If the cheese starts to darken too much, cover the lasagna with foil. Let it rest before serving for 10 to 15 minutes.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
