Classic Beef Lasagne

A family favourite that the kids absolutely love! Warm, filling and great after an active day outside.

Ingredients (serves 4)

600g Lean Beef Mince
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 Brown Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic
750 g Tomato Pasta Sauce
1 teaspoon Oregano
1/2 Cup Red Wine
250g Fresh Lasagne Sheets
2 Cups Thickened/double Cream
2 Cups Cheddar Cheese, grated
1/2 Cup Parmesan, grated

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced). Lightly grease a 25cm square, 7cm deep baking dish.
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for approximately 3 minutes, or until brown. Add mince and cook until brown. Add the pasta sauce, wine and oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, and then reduce to low heat. Simmer uncovered until sauce has thickened (approximately 40-45 minutes), and then remove from the heat.
Spoon ½ cup mince (or vegetarian alternative) over the base of the dish, and place ¼ of the total pasta sheets on top. Spoon another ½ cup mince, and drizzle cream on top. Repeat layers as necessary. Top with remaining pasta sheets and cheddar cheese. Sprinkle with parmesan and cover loosely with foil.
Bake for 45-50 minutes. Remove foil and bake for a further 15 minutes or until cheese is golden. Stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Vegetarian alternative to mince: Combine: • 1 large egg • 750g ricotta cheese • 600g chopped spinach leaves, thawed and squeezed dry

lovely recipe, I have never had much success with lasagne, always ends up dry and chewy, this was nice, I think that the cream made all the difference, have to live with the calories for the recipe success, LOL, thankyou for sharing, this has gone in my recipe book.

Ooh yumm. Just the type of meal I feel like making one these cold, winter days. Mine never turns out quite as good as my Mums (as my son tells me), so perhaps I’ll try your recipe for a better result. Thanks.

Make 2 and put one in the freezer, I add mushrooms to mine, and serve it up with chips or garlic bread and a salad, such a filling fantastic meal.

I also use it (double the recipe) unexpected guests drop in on me, it is such a good filling meal.
