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!
