Ingredients

• 0.5 pounds ground pork sausage
• 0.5 pounds ground beef
• 1 clove garlic , minced
• 1 can diced tomatoes , 28 ounce
• 1 can tomato sauce , 8 ounce
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 pinch white sugar
• 1 package lasagna noodles , 8 ounce
• 1 container sour cream , 16 ounce
• 2 packages shredded mozzarella cheese , 12 ounce
• 0.75 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups chopped pitted green olives
• 3 large eggs , lightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. 2

   Cook sausage, ground beef, and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

3. 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. 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.

5. 5

   Stir sour cream, 1/2 of the mozzarella, Parmesan, olives, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.

6. 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.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
