One evening I had a potato lasagna while out for dinner with my husband, that I truly enjoyed. My daughter loves lasagna but is unable to eat ricotta cheese, and adores goat cheese. I decided to combine the two ideas and continued to play with recipe until I came up with this one, enjoy!

Reduce heat to low, add sugar, salt and pepper. Continue to simmer while preparing other ingredients. ~ Remove sausages from casings by gently squeezing. Brown ground beef and sausage meat in large saute pan, carefully breaking into small pieces, about 15 minutes. Drain fat from pan. ~ Add tomato sauce to meat mixture, continue to simmer while prepare other ingredients. ~ Peel and wash potatoes, slice very thinly, about 1/8 inch. Place in large microwavable bowl, cover with plastic wrap. Cook in microwave for five minutes or until potaotes feel slightly cooked. ~ Grate cheddar and mozzerella cheese together. Crumble goat cheese separately. ~ Spray 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray. ~ Spread 1/2 cup meat sauce on bottom of pan, add a layer of potatoes, followed by 1/3 of meat sauce, 1/3 of cheddar, mozzerella mix, 1/2 roasted red peppers, 1/2 goat cheese crumble. ~ Repeat with second layer of above ingredients. ~ Finish with final layer of potatoes, meat sauce, and cheddar/mozzerella mix. ~ Cover with tin foil that has been sprayed with cooking spray, bake at 375 for fifty minutes in middle of oven, remove foil and continue baking for fifteen minutes. Using a knife check potatoes for doneness. If potatoes feel slightly crisp continue to cook for additional ten to fifteen minutes. ~ Let lasagna rest for fifteen minutes. ~ Cut into squares and serve sprinkled with freshly chopped basil. Cooks Tips ~ Sausages are most easily remove when just very slightly frozen. ~ Removing fat from cooked meat is very easy by placing the pan on angle to drain, and then using a turkey baster to remove the grease. ~ Cold cheese grates and crumbles easier. ~ Placing lasagna pan on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper helps eliminate oven spills. ~ Make meat sauce, grate cheeses ahead to save on prep time. ~ To modify for young children use 150 gram package of goat cheese and 1/2 of a 400 gram tub of ricotta cheese. Build lasagna with 1/2 goat cheese, half ricotta.
