Baked Beef Lasagna

I made baked beef lasagna, this is my first time to make lasagna.  It was a success!  It was yummy and creamy..

To make beef lasagna, you'll need;

(for the meat tomato sauce)

2 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic

2 pcs small onion, diced

500 grams ground beef

2 tbsp tomato paste

2 cups tomato sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

for bechamel sauce;

2 cups fresh milk

1/2 head onion, chopped

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp flour

2 cups quick-melt cheese

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

*for the pasta, I just used 9 pcs of pasta.  (cook the lasagna as per box directions)

Procedure:

(for bechamel sauce)

• Warm fresh milk with half head of onion and set aside.
• In a small sauce pot, cook butter and flour until you form a white paste.
• Add in fresh milk, season with salt and pepper and continue cooking until mixture is nice and thick.

(for meat tomato sauce)

• In a medium sauce pot, heat olive oil.
• Add in half of the onions and 3 cloves garlic and saute.
• Add in ground beef and saute until it changes color.  (I added 1 beef cube)
• Add in tomato paste, and continue cooking for about a minute.
• Add in tomato sauce, season with salt and pepper and continue cooking until sauce is nice and thick.
• Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Assemble lasagna by alternating layers of lasagna, meat sauce and bechamel sauce and some quick-melt cheese.  Sprinkle top with grated quick-melt cheese and parmesan cheese.  Bake for 45 minutes or until cheese is melted.

I'll try making it with eggplant or spinach next time.
