Beef Lasagna




Today's recipe is Beef Lasagna, requested by Casey :)
Lasagna is some kind of pasta that comes in form of sheets. You may buy it in most supermarket that sells imported goods.
This dish is not hard, but you must be careful.
My boyfriend and my little brother love this :)

Ingredients :

250 gr lasagna
salt, pepper, and sugar

for meat sauce:
500 gr minced beef
1 onion
2 cups of chicken/beef stock
lots of tomato sauce :p
oil

(you may add another ingredients you like such as carrot, real tomatoes)

for cheese sauce:
around 300 gr grated cheddar cheese (kraft cheese)
2 slices of bega cheese (or another cheese that may melt)
around 500 ml milk
2 small packs of butter
(you may add another ingredients such as cream cheese, dairy cream)

How to make the meat sauce:
1. Dice the onion evenly (and carrot or tomatoes if you want to add it)
2. In a wok (or big frying pan) heat some oil, and put the onion (wait for a moment and then the carrot) until it smells nice and looks withered.
3. Put the minced beef, and stir until it changes colour.
4. Put the chicken/beef stock, tomato sauce, salt and pepper, little bit sugar (and tomatoes), then stir. Add tomato sauce until it looks red enough.
5. Taste it, if it's too sour/too tasty, add more water. If it's just not right but you don't know what is it, add some more salt and sugar.

How to make the cheese sauce:
1. Melt the butter
2. Put the milk (and/or dairy cream) stir until thick
3. Put the bega chesse and grated cheese (and cream cheese), stir evenly
4. Put salt and pepper.
5. Taste it and fix it.

How to put everything together :
1. On a cake pan, or thermostable bowl. Put the meat sauce, then the cheese sauce, then the lasagna. Do this until it form layers of meat-cheese-lasagna-meat-cheese-lasagna-..... The top layer must be cheese.
2. Heat the oven on 180 celcius
3. Bake the lasagna for about 10-20 minutes.

Note : Make sure you put a lot of meat sauce on the top of lasagna layer. The moisture is really important to make the lasagna cooked softly.
