"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

Ingredients:  
2 T. olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 pound Italian sausage (spicy or sweet)
1 16 ounce can diced fire roasted tomatoes
1 12 ounce can tomato paste
1 T.dried oregano
1 chopped onion

Directions:
Directions:
Lightly brown the ground beef and sausage in olive oil. It's okay to leave the meats a little chunky. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, onion, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and water. Simmer over low medium heat for 30 minutes.

Reserve about one cup of the sauce.

Layer the sauce, then noodles then cheeses in the pan. Repeat twice more but put the reserved sauce on any part of the last layer of pasta not covered with cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10-15 minutes more until bubbly (if you have any extra cheese feel free to add some before you put it in the oven the second time, but you don't have to reserve any). Let cool for a few minutes before cutting.

Personal Notes:
The recipe calls for 16 ounces of lasagna noodles but I used only 1/2 a package of the no boil noodles for a 13x9 pan for three layers that had three noodles going across. If you have a lasagna pan, you can do four layers with three noodles in each layer since these are usually deeper.

You can also split the recipe in three and bake in three loaf pans but you'll need more noodles based on the size of the pans. I used six noodles for each of the three pans for a total of 18. Finally, you can use the noodles you have to pre-cook but under cook them by a couple of minutes.
