My Lasagne

Lasagne has always and probably always will be one of my favourite dinners. I think I make it a pretty standard way but if my girls ever want to make it just like me....here's how I do it.

Ingredients

500g Prime or Premium Beef Mince
1 chopped onion
6 chopped mushrooms
1/2 chopped capsicum (any colour)
1 can pasta sauce (any flavour)

Cheese Sauce

125g butter
4-5 tbsp flour
1 & 1/2 - 2C milk
1 & 1/2 C grated cheese

Cook mincey stuff in the pan with a touch of oil.

While that's cooking, melt butter in a medium sized saucepan. Add flour and whisk together. Slowly add milk and keep mixing so it stays smooth while thickening. Add cheese and mix until all melted.

Start layering the lasagne in a square dish. I use my standard white square one that I use at least every week for one dinner or other.

It doesn't really matter how the layering is done but I generally do it like this (note: the lasagne doesn't need to be cooked beforehand. It goes in raw/uncooked, straight from the packet)

Cook at 180 for about 40 minutes. You can tell by looking at the top and putting a knife in for when it's all cooked (the pasta should be all soft and cooked)

Because it comes right up to the very top of the dish I always put it on a baking tray incase little bits ooze over the sides

Serve hot, but not too hot (I've burnt my mouth many times with my over eager hungry-ness)....and with a generous portion of sour cream of course.

Now that I've typed this up, I think I've earned myself a second portion of this winner!
