Three Meat Lasagna
This is just a variation of my own lasagna recipe. I say variation because i make it differently every time depending on what i have on hand and my mood. This is the first time i've written my lasagna recipe down. Although i have made literally thousands of pans of lasagna throughout my years (i worked as a cook), i find this one perfectly acceptable (and i consider myself a lasagna snob). So you should certainly enjoy this, if not make it the only lasagna recipe you make from now on.
