Ingredients

• 0.5 Pounds (lb) ground pork sausage
• 0.5 Pounds (lb) ground beef
• 1 Whole garlic clove, minced
• 28 Ounces (oz) diced tomatoes, canned
• 8 Ounces (oz) tomato sauce
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) dried parsley
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) dried basil
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) dried oregano
• 1 Pinch white sugar
• 8 Ounces (oz) lasagna noodles
• 16 Ounces (oz) sour cream
• 24 Ounces (oz) mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
• 0.75 Cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 Cups green olives, minced
• 3 Large eggs, whisked
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) black pepper, ground

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage, ground beef, and minced garlic until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
3. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, parsley, basil, oregano, and a pinch of sugar to the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes.
4. While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
5. In a bowl, combine sour cream, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, olives, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
6. To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer with 1/3 of the lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the remaining meat sauce, and 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat layers two more times, finishing with a layer of noodles and sauce. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella evenly over the top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
