Lasagna

Look what I made last night! Steamy, hot, and gooey lasagna.

Good morning all. I hope your day is good.

This is how I make my lasagna, probably about the same as you do. But if, just for the smell, it was worth the time. I will have you know that I plan to share this with my neighbors as this 13×9 is way too much for me! You will need a 13×9 baking pan as this will fill it up with 1/2 cup of sauce leftover.

Here’s the recipe. 2 lbs of cooked and drained hamburger meat OR 2-pint jars of canned hamburger meat. (me)

1 or 2 lbs of frozen Motz. cheese. Let thaw for an hour. (Only)

1 block of Mexican Motz. cheese (8oz) I think.

1 large onion chopped 1-Tbsp of chopped garlic from a jar

1-TBSP oregano 1-TBSP parsley (both dried spices).

1 can chopped tomatoes 2 cans tomato sauce (15 oz sizes).

1 can tomato paste-8 oz size with 3 cans of hot water mixed well.

Dash of accent (1/16th tsp. Dash of Cavender’s Greek seasoning (1/8 tsp). 1/8th cup of sugar (cuts the heartburn).

16 oz box of penne noodles OR your choice. Boiled for 12 minutes and drained and set aside.

Saute your chopped onion and garlic for a few minutes and then add in the pint jars of canned hamburger meat. OR cook the store meat and drain and then add in the garlic and onion and cook for 8 minutes.

Add in all your spices and sugar.

Add in all your tomato products.

Now for the cheese. Frozen Motz or cheeses seem to grate up better for me. So I thawed for an hour so that it was a little softer to grate up, on one of those old box hand grater’s. I also grated up one-half of the Mexican Motz. cheese and added it. It was salty so there’s the salt for this recipe.

Have the 3 containers side by side. Meat sauce- cooked noodles-cheeses. Ladle the sauce then the noodles and then cheese with as many layers as it takes to fill the 13 x9 pan up. Always end with the sauce and then with a ton of cheese for the top.

Bake at 400 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Don’t burn the cheese. This is very full and hot so be very careful getting it out of the oven and on a flat space to cool down.

I hope that you try this recipe and really enjoy it! The oregano gives it a really spicy Italian flavor. So you can adjust the spice if need be. But it is the bomb for me.

Thanks for your visit today and feel, Welcome to visit me again to see what comes next. I, never know, myself! Share with your friends and family if you choose. Thanks again from Connie B. I post on Sat-Tue and Thursday.
