Creating the Million Dollar Lasagna is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure a delicious outcome:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare Meat Sauce: In a large skillet, cook ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
4. Season Meat: Add garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the meat. Stir in marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Mix Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix until well blended.
6. Layer Ingredients: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of meat sauce at the bottom. Place 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
7. Add Cheese Mixture: Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by a third of the mozzarella cheese.
8. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of meat sauce, noodles, ricotta, and another third of the mozzarella. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with meat sauce and remaining mozzarella on top.
9. Sprinkle Parmesan: Top with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
10. Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
11. Rest: Allow the lasagna to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing to serve.
