Paula Deen’s Lots O’Meat Lasagna

paula deen's lots o'meat lasagna & garlic bread

Last week’s date night was a hit!!!

This was my first try at making lasagna, and it wasn’t as scary or difficult as I thought it would be. As soon as you get over the fear of the long list of ingredients, everything thereafter is a breeze. The only difficult part is the having the self-restraint to not eat the meat sauce while it’s simmering.

And can I just say that no-boil lasagna noodles are amazing!! Not only is it one less pot to clean, but it’s also one less thing to fuss about…you don’t have to worry about noodle breakage! That was my main concern when it came to making lasagna.

This is the dish that you have to try making if you want to impress that certain special someone in your life. I’m calling this the “relationship sealer” lasagna. It fits every man’s dinner criteria  (well, at least my man’s :)…it’s meaty (very meaty), cheesy (extra cheesy), it’s comfort food and reminds them of home. Just trust me on this one, your guy will end up falling in love with you all over again :)

This lasagna is just perfection at it’s best.

Get ready for a picture bloated post!

a very long list of ingredients...

For the meaty part the lasagna, you’ll need ground chuck and ground Italian sausage…

mild italian pork sausages

couldn't find ground italian sausage anywhere, instead I found these little guys!
