Another new Recipe I tried "Paleo Lasagna"

I went over to a Friends the other night and Paleo Lasagna was for dinner.  I was definitely surprised with how good it tasted.  It actually had the comfort of eating something bad.  This is a definite must make again.  This Recipe can be found in the Everyday Paleo Cookbook. 


Paleo “Lasagna”


Lasagna
2 lbs grass fed ground beef
1lb mild Italian sausage (I used Sicilian chicken sausage from Trader Joe’s)
1 red onion diced
4 cloves crushed garlic
2 tbsp dried oregano
2 tbsp dried basil
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes drained
1 small can of tomato paste
1cup organic black olives sliced
6 zucchinis thinly sliced(used my slicer blade in the food processor for thin, even zucchini rounds – for more “lasagna” like noodles slice lengthwise with a mandolin slicer).
In a large soup pot saute onions and garlic in the olive oil for about 3 minutes.  Add ground beef and sausage and brown.  Season meat mixture with all dry ingredients and add drained diced tomatoes and tomato paste and mix well.  In a big lasagna baking dish place a layer of sliced zucchini and then ladle on a thick layer of the meat mixture and top with the sliced black olives.  Top meat and olive layer with another layer of sliced zucchini and top with a final layer of the remaining meat mixture.  Cover tightly with aluminum foil and back at 350 for 30 min.  Let sit for 10 min before serving.
