My secret ingredient to tomato based red sauce is cayenne pepper. Add a pinch or more depending on your taste buds and those you're serving. I'm not a fan of hot and spicy foods, but I love red cayenne pepper in any red sauce for the depth of flavor. Combine it with brown sugar as in this recipe for a sweet and spicy balance that creates a savory effect. You'll love it!

Ingredients

o    1 lb Italian sausage, (I use mild, but you can with hot if you prefer)

Italian cooking is one of my specialties... surprising for someone that looks more Swedish than Italian right? ;) This lasagna is so popular that it's the one dish that is scarfed up immediately by all those around with no left overs! Try making the sauce in the slow cooker so that you can make that ahead, then assemble and bake the lasagna later.

Here are the ingredients you will need: 

1 1⁄2 lbs lean ground beef 

1⁄2 lb Italian sausage 

1 large onion, chopped
