TRISHA YEARWOOD’S COWBOY LASAGNA

This lasagna has everything a cowboy could ask for. Wait, I’m not a cowboy so how should I know that? I guess after  watching so many episodes of The Pioneer Woman or Trisha Yearwood’s show, I now know what cowboy’s like. Lots of meat and real spicy food.  In this lasagna, there’s ground beef, Italian sausage, pepperoni, lots of cheese,  and fire roasted tomatoes. To make it a little more spicy, throw in some crushed red pepper flakes in the sauce. It was the most delicious lasagna, and Trisha Yearwood has done it again. I’m a fan of many of her recipes including Chicken Tortilla Soup and Enchiladas. They  are all good and her recipes always come out great. Can’t wait to take some leftovers for work tomorrow.

Have you ever made a really runny lasagna? That is my major pet peeve when making lasagna is one that comes out all soupy. When making the sauce it looked like the  lasagna would be a soupy consistency but it didn’t turn out that way. It was nice and thick. Oh yah, and one other pet peeve about lasagna is wanting more cottage cheese or ricotta cheese.  It seems like there is never enough of that for each layer and that is my favorite part of lasagna. All the cheese!
