Classic Sour Cream Lasagna

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Sour Cream Lasagna.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.

3. Step 3

   Toss in the ground pork sausage, ground beef, and minced garlic, stirring occasionally.

4. Step 4

   You’ll want to cook this mixture until the meat is beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Once it’s ready, drain any excess grease to keep your dish from being too oily.

6. Step 6

   Next, add in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried parsley, dried basil, dried oregano, and a pinch of sugar.

7. Step 7

   Bring this delightful mixture to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer.

8. Step 8

   Stir it occasionally as it thickens up, which should take around 30 minutes.

9. Step 9

   While your sauce is bubbling away, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a boil.

10. Step 10

    Once boiling, add the lasagna noodles and cook them uncovered, stirring occasionally, until they’re tender yet still have a nice bite, about 8 minutes.

11. Step 11

    After draining the noodles, set them aside and let them cool a bit.

12. Step 12

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, half of the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped olives, beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper.

13. Step 13

    Mix everything together until it’s well combined and creamy.

14. Step 14

    Now it’s time to assemble your lasagna! Start by spreading a thin layer of the savory meat sauce evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

15. Step 15

    Layer one-third of the lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by one-third of the remaining meat sauce, and then one-third of your cheesy mixture.

16. Step 16

    Repeat these layers two more times, finishing with a final layer of meat sauce and topping it off with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

17. Step 17

    Pop your assembled lasagna into the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is a gorgeous golden brown.

18. Step 18

    Your kitchen will smell amazing, and soon you’ll be ready to enjoy a hearty, comforting meal that’s sure to impress!.
