Best Dads Lasagna Recipes

DAD'S LASAGNA

Dad's Lasagna image

Like my father's rib recipe which I've also posted, this is a recipe which some old buddies of mine recently requested that I post. Back when we all were a little younger, the guys used to come over everytime my Dad made his lasagne. Maybe it was the free meal or maybe it was just that good but this recipe is the reason why lasagna has always been one of my favorite foods. I know that you can substitute ground beef for the sausage (or use both combined) with equal success. I've posted this as 6-10 servings but I know from experience that 4 big guys can polish this off and still ask for more.

I love this dish! I could eat this once every week for the rest of my life. The extra effort it takes to assemble this dish is well worth it. You can halve this recipe, or cook in two separate 9 inch square pans. Any way you prepare it, this dish will definitely be a hit.
