This is my grandma's best lasagna recipe, except I use sour cream instead of ricotta (a trick I picked up from my mother-in-law). She always made it for birthdays and special occasions. This makes a large amount, so I halve it when making it for my boyfriend and myself. It's very cheesy, so sometimes I add a little extra tomato sauce.

Ingredients

  • ground pork sausage: 0.5 pound
  • ground beef: 0.5 pound
  • clove garlic: 1 piece (minced)
  • tomatoes: 1 can (28 ounce can, diced)
  • tomato sauce: 1 can (8 ounce can)
  • parsley: 1 Tbsp (dried)
  • basil: 0.5 tsp (dried)
  • oregano: 0.5 tsp (dried)
  • pinch white sugar: 1 piece
  • lasagna noodles: 1 pack (8 ounce pack)
  • sour cream: 1 container (16 ounce container)
  • mozzarella cheese: 2 packages (12 ounce packages, divided, shredded)
  • Parmesan cheese: 0.75 cup (grated)
  • pitted green olives: 0.5 cup (chopped)
  • eggs, lightly: 3 piece (beaten)
  • salt: 2 tsp
  • ground black pepper: 0.25 tsp

  3. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, parsley, basil, oregano, and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes.

  4. When the sauce has simmered for about 15 minutes, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.

  6. Assemble the lasagna: Spread a thin layer of meat sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with 1/3 of the lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the remaining meat sauce, and 1/3 of the cheese mixture; repeat layers two more times with remaining noodles, sauce, and cheese mixture. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella evenly over top.
