This Lasagna Is for Only the Most Die-Hard of Meat Lovers
What could be more comforting during the harsh winter months than a delicious, home-cooked, cheesy, gooey, savory lasagna? I'll answer that one for you: nothing.
There's a reason lasagna has persisted in the hearts of many comfort food fiends, and with the resurgence of the vegan and anti-meat movement, lasagna has fallen to the wayside. But when the thermometer drops and the fleece blankets come out, is a salad going to stick to your ribs the way cheesy goodness does? Unfortunately, no.
Upon first glance, this recipe may seem a bit overwhelming, but don't be fooled, I promise you can do it. You basically put everything into a pot and wait until it all melds together in a beautifully made lasagna. Although this isn't your traditional recipe, this dish is delicious nonetheless and is sure to impress even the snootiest of your foodie friends. Also, it's super meat-lover friendly.
I implore you, my coziness-seeking, hibernating friends, turn on your fireplaces, grab your fleece blankets and cuddle up with a delicious slice of homemade lasagna.

Okay, I'll admit it, this is definitely not the healthiest recipe you could make. But hey, you had to break those unrealistic New Year's resolutions at some point, and trust me, this recipe is SO worth it. I mean, half of it is basically just different kinds of cheeses.
Besides, everything is fine in moderation, so cut yourself a hunk of this gooey lasagna and grab a side salad. Maybe use low-fat cottage cheese and throw in some veggies if you're into that kind of thing: the beauty of lasagna is its customizability.
Or, you could just eat the whole thing, who am I to judge?
