A Great Meat Lasagna Recipe
Saturday, July 10th, 2010If you can brown meat and boil noodles, then you can take advantage of this simple, but delicious, meat lasagna recipe. Go to the supermarket and pick up the necessary ingredients, and begin creating a dish that the entire family will love.
There are several basic ingredients that you will need, but there is also lots of room for adding your own flair to the dish. Make this dinner your own by seasoning it with whatever you choose. Popular seasonings include basil, oregano, and parsley, but it is completely up to you how you create this meal. Be sure, however, that you have ground beef, lasagna noodles, as well as cottage cheese and any other cheese you wish. Purchase all of that, in addition to tomato sauce, and you have everything you need to begin.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees to bake the final product. Begin boiling your noodles, as well as browning the ground beef. Once the beef is browned, drain it of the fat. When the noodles are done, drain them of water and set them to the side.
The assembly of the dish is completely up to you. However, most individuals tend to mix their tomato sauce and meat together, creating a meat sauce. This is advisable, but not required. Spray the bottom of the pan with a non-stick cooking spray, and add a layer of sauce, then pasta, then cheese, or however you choose to create your dish.
Go ahead and fill your pan to the top. The ingredients will drop and settle as it cooks. Be sure you cover your meal with aluminum foil, and put it into the 400 degree oven for 35 to 45 minutes. Once the middle is hot, the cheese is melted, and the edges are crisp, it is time to remove. Allow the meal time to cool, approximately 15 minutes. This also allows the ingredients to meld.
And there you have it. A delicious meal that you and the family will love. Be sure and save leftovers, as lasagna is delicious the next day. This is a great recipe that guides the cook in the basics, yet allows them the room to experiment and make the dish their own.
