I like to fix the chunky meat sauce for this dish the day before, so the flavors can blend. It serves 12, unless you have big eaters who will definitely want seconds. —Betty Pearson, Edgewater, Maryland

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cans (15 ounces each) tomato sauce
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Italian diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
9 no-cook lasagna noodles
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the beef, sausage and onion until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Spread 1 cup sauce in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Top with three noodles. Drop a third of the cream cheese by teaspoonfuls over the top. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2/3 cup each of Parmesan cheese and Swiss cheese; spoon a third of the remaining sauce over the top. Repeat with layers of noodles, cheeses and sauce twice (dish will be full). Place dish on a baking sheet.
Cover and bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake, uncovered, 10-15 minutes longer or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting. Yield: 12 servings.

I modified this recipe using mushrooms instead of the meat to make it vegetarian. The different cheeses make it an excellent variation of your typical lasagna.

Absolutely loved this recipe. I used Johnsonville sweet italian sausage and added a few slices of provolone. To die for!

My husband and I both loved this lasagne. This is "our" lasagne recipe now.

It is very rich, so you can't eat too much at a time, but with a nice side salad it is perfect.

Like some other reviewers, I thought the Swiss cheese would be strange in lasagna. Duh! It was really great with the other cheeses. I used more than the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella on the top because I had about a cup left over after all the layering. It got beautiful and chewy in the oven. This is a definite keeper. Yummity! Yum! Yum!

Best lasagna I have ever had! I only used one lb ground beef. And I don't know what bulk italian sausage is, so I just used ground breakfast sausage. Other than that, I made it just like it says. Absolutely delicious!!! This will definitely be a family favorite! My 2 year and 1 year old loved it, too!!!
