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

  • 0.5 pounds ground pork sausage
  • 0.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • 1 , 28 ounce
  • 1 , 8 ounce
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 0.5 teaspoons dried basil
  • 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 pinch white sugar
  • 1 , 8 ounce
  • 1 , 16 ounce
  • 2 , 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.
