Barbecue Lasagna Recipe

Use ready-made pork from the grocery store or your own favorite homemade pulled pork and barbecue sauce for this hearty lasagna.

Ingredients

• 2 (18 oz) containers pulled pork in barbeque sauce

• 1 (16 oz) package mozzarella cheese, shredded

• 1 (16 oz) package shredded Cheddar cheese

• 1 (16 oz) container ricotta cheese

• 1 large egg

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

• 1 (16 oz) package lasagna noodles

Directions

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the lasagna noodles for about 12 minutes until cooked through but still firm.

• In a large pot over medium heat simmer the pork in barbeque sauce, reduce heat and keep warm at a slow simmer.

• Combine the mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese in a small bowl, set aside.

• In a separate bowl, beat together the ricotta cheese, egg, salt, and ground pepper until smooth.

• In a glass 9×13 baking dish spread a layer of the barbeque sauce into the bottom. Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce to cover. Spread an layer of the pulled pork over the noodles and then top with a layer of the ricotta mixture. Finish with a layer of the shredded cheese mixture. Repeat the layers. Finish by topping with a layer of the ricotta mixture, a thin layer of the pork, and a light sprinkling of the cheese mixture. Save a small portion of the cheese mixture for later.

• Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and top the lasagna with the remaining shredded cheese mixture and return to oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly. Cool before serving.
