GRANDMA'S BEST EVER SOUR CREAM LASAGNA



Grandma's Best Ever Sour Cream Lasagna image

This is my grandma's famous recipe, except that I use sour cream instead of the traditional cheeses (a trick I picked up from my mother-in-law). She always made it for birthday dinners and special occasions. This makes a large amount. I halve it when making it for my boyfriend and myself. It's very cheesy - sometimes I add a little extra tomato sauce. Enjoy!

Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (8 ounce) package lasagna noodles
½ pound ground pork sausage
½ pound ground beef
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch white sugar
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream

2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (12 ounce) packages shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  • To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover with 1/3 of the lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the remaining meat sauce, 1/3 of the sour cream mixture. Repeat this layering 2 more times. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the lasagna.

I was inspired by the recipe on the back of the Mullers box. I came up with this low-fat version of the original, but don't tell DH it is low fat, he'll never know otherwise. The secret ingredient is cornstarch this keeps the wateriness (is that a word) out of the fat free cheese.
