BARBECUE LASAGNA
Years ago, Mid 1990 I think. I was sitting around talking about how the Pizza chains had come out with BBQ Pizza when I got the idea of BBQ Lasagna. I was inspired by the pizza, my Italian family upbringing and my southern living as an adult. This may sound strange at first but everyone I have served it to for the past 10+ years loved it. I start by cooking a large 6-10 lb Boston Butt on the smoker ahead of time slicing off some for a diner and then pulling the rest for pulled pork sandwiches and of course BBQ Lasagna. If you are already accustomed to pulled pork you are ahead of the game. If not there are many great smoked Boston Butt/pulled pork recipes on the web. If this seams like way to much work (smoking/ barbequing is a sport and requires lots of time and beer) then there is ready made pulled pork alternatives sold in most grocery stores that could be used. Here is one I see in the stores. Lloyd's BBQ Pork, search lloydsbbq.com http://www.lloydsbbq.com/products_shredporkbbq.aspI have not tried this but I'm sure it would be pretty good. I will stick with smoking and pulling my own. The same can be said for BBQ sauce. There is lots of good recipes on the web or use your favorite store bought brand. You can go spicy or sweet the choice is fully yours. Fact is you will find that you can vary this entire recipe many different ways using your favorite Lasagna recipe if you already have one. I like to think of this more as an Idea then a recipe. You can even trade out BBQ pulled Chicken, Beef etc. I will not use exact measurements for the pork or BBQ sauce as like I said I always make a lot and use what is left for other meals. I would guess I use somewhere between 1-2 lbs of pork in the Lasagna. I mix plenty of BBQ sauce to my pulled pork in a sauce pan and bring it to a slow simmer. (Don't burn) You just want the meat good and wet with the sauce and enough to simmer but not so much it is soupy. It should be very meaty. On the flip side if you choose a real thick sauce you may need to add a little water to thin it out. You're looking for the same consistency as a traditional marinara sauce to spread easily and be soaked up by the lasagna.

This lasagna has a smokey flavor that reminds me of BBQ. It uses corn tortillas instead of pasta. I served it to my family at Christmas and it was a big hit.

CROWD-SOURCED MEAT LASAGNA
There are very few dishes that taste equally as good, if not better, on the second day as they do on the first. Lasagna is one of them. It takes a bit of effort to make, but with your help we've created a great recipe for this layered dish. In my first question to you about this recipe, I asked what direction we were going for the noodles. When 64% of you said you wanted to use OG (dried) lasagna noodles, I knew we were in for a classic version. Make no mistake, this is a meat lasagna, because 84% of you wanted to push the veggies aside. Which brings me to the cheese: This lasagna is loaded with so much of it, I expect to see plenty of cheese pulls on social media (tag me)! Mozzarella and ricotta were the top picks, so we piled them on - along with a dusting of Parmesan. Once you bake your lasagna, try this tip: Use the tines of a fork to perforate the cheesy top into squares so you don't drag your cheese along with the knife when you're serving it. And of course, don't forget to follow me @SunnyAnderson on Twitter to catch the next poll.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Rub the bottom and sides of a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish (about 5 quarts) with olive oil. Set aside.
- Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon oregano and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the beef and sausage and cook, breaking up the meat into crumbles with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until everything is well coated and the tomato paste is a shade darker, about 2 minutes. Add the vermouth and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, until almost dry. Add the crushed tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups water, the remaining 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until the sauce reduces slightly, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; add a pinch of sugar if the tomatoes taste sharp.
- Meanwhile, cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook, stirring, until just al dente and pliable, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a colander; run cool water over the noodles and separate them.
- Make the filling: Lightly beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Add the ricotta, 2/3 cup Parmesan, the parsley, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and stir until combined.
- Assemble the lasagna: Spread a thin layer of sauce (about 1 cup) in the bottom of the baking dish. Top with 3 noodles, laying them lengthwise. Top the noodles with one-quarter of the remaining sauce (about 2 cups). Dollop one-third of the ricotta mixture (about 1 1/2 cups) on top and spread in an even layer. Top with 3/4 cup mozzarella and 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Repeat these layers two more times (noodles, sauce, ricotta mixture, mozzarella and parmesan). For the last layer, add the remaining 3 noodles, sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cover the baking dish with foil, sealing the edges (do not press the foil into the cheese). Bake until the lasagna is hot and bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until golden brown, 20 to 30 more minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Tips:
- For a richer lasagna, use a combination of ground beef and Italian sausage.
- If you don't have any ricotta cheese, you can substitute cottage cheese.
- To make the lasagna ahead of time, assemble it and then refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
- When baking the lasagna, cover it with foil for the first 30 minutes to prevent the cheese from browning too quickly.
- Let the lasagna cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
This meaty BBQ lasagna is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a casual get-together or a special occasion. With its layers of tender pasta, savory BBQ sauce, and gooey cheese, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
