Ken's World Famous Lasagna

OK, well maybe the entire world doesn't know about this lasagna but we thought it tasted great.  This dish is a good example of taking normal oven recipes and adapting them to Dutch oven cooking.  Ken didn't give me the recipe but he tells me that this has been around in his family for a while.
