Bubba Hughes Ragu

Bubba Hughes and his dog, Hambone, are a fixture in Montgomery, AL. Many of


us got to know them both via an app called NextDoor and came to look forward to seeing Hambones advetntures. Below is a note from Bubba: 

Hambone loves everything except collards. I have a recipe for lasagna that I cook. I’ve never had a complaint. 

  • 3 pounds of hamburger meat 
  • 11/2 cups of mild cheddar cheese shredded 
  • 1 cup of mozzarella cheese 
  • 1 32 ounces or Ragu
  • Oven ready lasagna noodles 

  1. Brown the meat and drain the grease. 
  2. Pour the Ragu in with the hamburger meat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. 
  3. After it simmers you can then put it together. 
  4. Put a layer of meat sauce on the bottom of the pan. 
  5. Then add noodles and cheese. 
  6. Add another layer of noodles and then meat sauce and add cheese. 
  7. You should have enough for 2 layers in a 9x12 pan. 
  8. Cover with tin foil and bake at 400 for 50 minutes. 
  9. Take off the tin foil and bake another 10 minutes. 
  10. Let it cool and enjoy.
