I made this recipe up as I have become intolerant to beef, but I love lasagne. Fry the mince in a large pan until nicely browned. In addition to using the slow-cooked pork barbecue and Sunday gravy in the lasagna, you can serve the leftovers separately. Try the barbecue piled into sandwiches and the gravy served over pasta. Meat lasagna is the perfect Italian comfort food!
