Trisha has been one of my favorites to follow for a while now and I’m still watching her. This recipe was shared back in 2015 and her show is still on the air today.  I absolutely love this cowboy lasagna recipe of hers because it has one of my favorite ingredients to cook with and that is sausge. It’s really easy to make this recipe lower in calories as well by substituting a few changes.

What Ingredients do I need? 

In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients’ purpose is for. 

Trisha Yearwood’s Cowboy lasagna the way the recipe is written is pretty high in points. With just a few changes you can help lower the points by quite a bit just using extra lean ground beef or turkey pepperoni. If you aren’t following WW just make this recipe as written. 

Ground Beef – use 93% or 96% lean ground beef, can also use ground turkey

Egg whites  – I like to use use the carton egg whites, saves time trying to crack the eggs open and splitting the egg whites up.

Sausage – Turkey sausage instead of regular or pork 

Pepperoni – use turkey 

Ricotta Cheese, Mozzarella, and Parmesan – try and find a low-fat or fat-free version cheese

By switching out the dairy and beef products to a leaner or fat-free version the points per slice will come out 13. serving size is 1 slice.

How to make Trisha Yearwood’s Cowboy Lasagna 

To print the full recipe please see the recipe card below. 

In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, add the oil and lightly brown the ground beef and sausage. Be sure to keep the meat chunky, not finely separated, while cooking. Add the pepperoni, tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, onion and 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions and drain.

In the bottom of a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan, spread a layer of the prepared sauce. Top with a layer of the lasagna noodles and the ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat, ending with the sauce, noodles and cheeses.

Bake until lightly browned and bubbling, about 40 minutes. Allow the dish to stand for 15 minutes before serving. Cut the lasagna into 3-inch squares.
