2 tablespoons olive oil
12 ounces ground beef
12 ounces bulk Italian sausage
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jar (24 ounces) pasta sauce
8 ounces thinly sliced deli chicken (12 slices)
1/2 pound thinly sliced deli pepperoni
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Cook beef, sausage, onion and garlic until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain, return to pan. Stir in pasta sauce; heat through.
2. Spread 1 cup sauce into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer with half of the sliced chicken, half of the sliced pepperoni, 2 cups sauce and half of each cheese. Repeat layers.
3. Bake, covered, 25 minutes. Uncover; bake until cheese is browned and lasagna is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes longer. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
