3 Meat 3 Cheese Lasagna
This lasagna is a cherished family recipe that combines three types of meat with a trio of cheeses for a deeply satisfying meal. After testing various combinations, this particular blend of beef, pork, and veal with mozza-cheddar and Parmesan proved to be the ultimate favourite. It is assembled with whole wheat lasagna noodles and a robust pasta sauce, then baked until the cheese topping is perfectly golden and bubbly. The entire process takes about 60 minutes to complete, serving six people.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground meat (I use the mix of beef, pork, and veal)
- 2 (680 ml) cans pasta sauce (I use Primo, one can of garlic and herb, one can of romano cheese and basil)
- 1 (380 g) package of kraft mozza-cheddar grated cheese
- grated parmesan cheese, to preference
- 12 lasagna noodles (I use PC Blue Menu, whole wheat noodles)
Method
- Cook the ground meat in a pan until browned, then drain off any excess fat.
- Pour both cans of pasta sauce into the pan with the meat. Cover and warm the mixture, stirring it occasionally.
- As the sauce heats, cook the lasagna noodles as directed on the package and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and rinse with cold water to cool them for handling.
- Spread a thin layer of the prepared meat sauce across the base of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
- Create two complete layers, each using 4 noodles, a portion of meat sauce, some Parmesan cheese, and a handful of the mozza-cheddar cheese.
- For the top layer, place the last 4 noodles, cover with the remaining meat sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, reserving the mozza-cheddar.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the lasagna from the oven and add the final layer of mozza-cheddar cheese. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- Allow the baked lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
