 Categories: Beef, Pork, Vegetables, Pasta, Cheese
      Yield: 12 servings

      2 tb Olive oil
      1 lb Lean ground beef chuck
      1 lb Sage-flavored sausage
      1 lb Sliced pepperoni
     16 oz Can diced fire-roasted
           - tomatoes
     12 oz Can tomato paste
      1 tb Dried oregano
        pn Salt; more to taste
        pn Fresh ground black pepper
      2 cl Garlic; minced
      1 md White or yellow onion;
           - finely chopped
     16 oz Pkg lasagna noodles
     16 oz Ricotta cheese
     16 oz Mozzarella cheese; shredded
      1 c  Parmesan cheese; grated

  Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
  Add the ground beef and sausage. Stir frequently to
  ensure even browning.

  Add the pepperoni, tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano,
  salt, pepper, garlic, onion and 2 cups of water. Bring
  to a simmer and cook uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring
  frequently.

  In the meantime, set the oven @ 350°F/175°C.

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the
  lasagna noodles according to the package directions.
  Drain and set aside.

  When the mixture is ready, spray a deep 13x9" baking
  dish with cooking spray. Spread one third of the sauce
  in an even layer over the bottom of the dish. Top with
  lasagna noodles, then one third of each of the ricotta,
  mozzarella and parmesan.

  Repeat these steps again, making sure you are portioning
  out accordingly so you have enough for each set of
  layers. Top with one additional layer of sauce, noodles
  and cheeses.

  Bake in the center of the oven, uncovered, for
  approximately 40 to 45 minutes. Allow the cowboy lasagna
  to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

  If the top has not browned by the end of the recommended
  cooking time, feel free to broil for 3 to 5 minutes to
  get a gorgeous golden lasagna. Just keep an eye on it!
