Instructions
  1. Combine the beans, tomatoes, ketchup, garlic, taco seasoning, red onion, chilis, broth in your instant pot. Stir thoroughly. Program to bean/chili and let cook. About 10 minutes before the pot is done pour olive oil in skillet. Brown your vegi crumbles. I like them to be a bit crisp for texture. Once the chili is done pour the crumbles in and stir. Ready to serve and top with your garnishes.
Recipe Notes

*For the vegi crumbles I used the Smart Ground Mexican 

You could easily make this in a crockpot as well.

If you wanted to use ground chicken, turkey, or beef you could substitute as well.

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add in the sausage and ground beef. Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat into small pieces. Add in onion and garlic and cook until meat is browned. Stir in sugar, basil, fennel, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste, and 1/4 cup parsley. Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer 1 hour stirring occasionally.
  2. Meanwhile place lasagna noodles into the bottom of a pan. Pour hot water over the noodles, making sure the pasta is completely immersed in water. Let them soak for 30 minutes, then drain and discard water.
  3. In a mixing bowl combine ricotta with egg, 2 Tbsp parsley, 1/2 tsp salt, and nutmeg. Refrigerate until ready to assemble lasagna.
  4. Preheat oven to 375F. Lightly grease a deep 9x13 pan.
  5. To assemble spread about 1 cup meat sauce in the bottom of the pan. Place 3 noodles on top. Spread with 1/3 of the ricotta mixture. Top with 1/4 of the mozzarella slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over the mozzarella, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup parmesan. Repeat layering 2 more times to create 3 complete layers. To finish, place a final layer of pasta, topped with another 1 cup meat sauce to cover the pasta. Top with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan. Cover loosely with foil.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 25 minutes. Enjoy!
