Dish 4 - Beef Lasagne

Beef Lasagne

Serves: 4-6; Prep Time: 20min; Cook Time: 35min

Ingredients:

400g lean beef mince
575g jar Leggo's Hidden Veg Pasta Sauce - Bolognese
1 packet fresh or dry lasagne sheets
565g jar Leggo's Bechamel Pasta Bake
1 cup grated tasty cheese

Method:

1. Brown beef mince in a saucepan.
2. Add bolognese sauce and heat through.
3. Spoon 1/3 cup of meat sauce over the base of a 20cm x 30cm ovenproof lasagne dish. Cover with a layer of fresh or dry instant lasagne sheets and 1/3 of the sauce. Repeat layers twice and finish with a layer of sheets.
4. Pour over Bechamel Sauce and sprinkle with cheese.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 200oC for 35 minutes for fresh sheets or 45 minutes for instant sheets.
   

Notes: If I were to make this again, I would increase the mince to perhaps 500g as there wasn't really enough to cover 3 layers sufficiently. Also, I'm not sure why it happened, but I think the jar of Bechemel Sauce might have been too runny and it seeped into the lasagne, leaving the top layer of lasagne sheets exposed and therefore didn't soften during cooking so was hard.
