Warning: This is not healthy, but it sure is gooooood! The recipe is an alteration of Paula Deen's "Lots O' Meat Lasagna".
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large saucepan, combine ground beef, sausage, onion, pepper, mushrooms and garlic. Cook over medium heat until meat is browned and crumbled; drain.
Return meat to pan and add oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce and paste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 to 45 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine cottage cheese, Parmesan, parsley, and eggs.
Spoon 1/4 of sauce into bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking pan. Place 3 uncooked lasagna noodles on top of sauce. Do not overlap noodles. Spread 1/3 of cottage cheese mixture over noodles, top with 1/4 of sauce and 1/3 mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers, ending with sauce, reserving 1/3 of mozzarella cheese.
Bake 45 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and pepperoni slices, then bake 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

It’s only necessary for an individual to eat this mouthwatering Lots O’ Meat Lasagna occasionally, though. One would miss half of his/her life if he didn’t get the chance to taste this mouthwatering dish. The important thing is that one knows how to limit himself/herself and not make it a habit to eat meat all the time.
