Supreme Pizza Lasagna Ingredients

• 1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup finely diced onion
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 12 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package directions
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
• 1 cup sliced pepperoni
• 1/2 cup sliced black olives
• 1/2 cup sliced green bell peppers

How To Make Supreme Pizza Lasagna

1. Prepare the meat sauce: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the Italian sausage and ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain any excess grease. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Make the ricotta mixture: While the sauce is simmering, prepare the cheese filling. In a medium bowl, stir together the ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Assemble the lasagna: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place a single layer of cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce, about 3-4 noodles. Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles. Top with one-third of the meat sauce, one-third of the mozzarella and provolone cheeses, and a handful of the pepperoni, olives, and green peppers.
4. Repeat the layers: Add another layer of noodles and repeat the process: the remaining ricotta mixture, one-third of the meat sauce, another third of the cheeses, and more pepperoni, olives, and green peppers. Top with a final layer of noodles.
5. Add the final toppings: Pour the remaining meat sauce over the top layer of noodles. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and provolone cheese, and top with the last of the pepperoni, olives, and green peppers.
6. Bake the lasagna: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let the lasagna rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Recipe Tips

• Cook the sausage and beef well: Make sure to fully brown the sausage and beef before adding the other ingredients. This adds a depth of savory flavor to the sauce.
• Drain the grease: Draining the excess grease from the meat is important to prevent the lasagna from becoming oily and greasy.
• Rest the lasagna: Resting the lasagna for at least 10 minutes after baking allows the layers to set. This makes it much easier to slice and serve neat pieces without them falling apart.
• Don’t overcook the noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles just until they are al dente (firm to the bite) before assembling. They will finish cooking in the oven and absorb the flavors of the sauce.

What To Serve Supreme Pizza Lasagna

This supreme pizza lasagna is a complete and satisfying meal on its own. However, you can serve it with a simple side salad tossed with a light vinaigrette to cut through the richness. A loaf of warm, crusty garlic bread is perfect for sopping up any extra sauce. For a drink, a glass of red wine or a cold soda would be a great pairing.

How To Store Supreme Pizza Lasagna Leftovers

• Refrigerate: Store leftover lasagna in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For individual portions, place them in separate containers for easy reheating.
• Freeze: To freeze, wrap the entire baked and cooled lasagna in plastic wrap, then with aluminum foil. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then bake at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, about 30-40 minutes.
