3 Meat 3 Cheese Lasagna

⏱ 60 mins 🍽 6 serving(s) 🌶 italian 🏷 < 60 Mins

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.

3 Meat 3 Cheese Lasagna

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

  1. Cook the ground meat in a pan until browned, then drain off any excess fat.
  2. Pour both cans of pasta sauce into the pan with the meat. Cover and warm the mixture, stirring it occasionally.
  3. As the sauce heats, cook the lasagna noodles as directed on the package and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  4. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and rinse with cold water to cool them for handling.
  5. Spread a thin layer of the prepared meat sauce across the base of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
  6. Create two complete layers, each using 4 noodles, a portion of meat sauce, some Parmesan cheese, and a handful of the mozza-cheddar cheese.
  7. For the top layer, place the last 4 noodles, cover with the remaining meat sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, reserving the mozza-cheddar.
  8. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  9. 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.
  10. Allow the baked lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
