The Best Budget Friendly Ground Beef Lasagna
This budget friendly ground beef lasagna was inspired by my son who's living on his own (with roommates) in college and wanted something that he could make in bulk without much hassle.
Lasagna is easy to make; the reason why it may take about two hours to make is because it needs to be in the oven for about an hour and should rest out of the oven for at least 30 minutes to really enjoy.
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds lean ground beef (93%/7% preferred)
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp Dried Italian spices or oregano
½ cup of Fresh Parsley (optional: 4 tbsp. for garnish)
2 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
24oz Spaghetti Sauce
12 noodles dry lasagna noodles
2 large eggs, beaten
1 pint ricotta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound mozzarella cheese, shredded\sliced
2 – 3 tbsp Olive Oil
In a skillet over medium heat, cook onions for 5 minutes or until translucent; add 1tbsp of olive oil, add pepper flakes and garlic cook for 1 minute.
Cook ground beef until brown; mix in Italian spices, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, pepper and tomato sauce. Simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add lasagna noodles, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until al dente; drain. Soak them in cold water to prevent sticking
In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, ricotta, parsley and 1 teaspoon salt.
Layer thin coat of sauce then add 1/3 of the lasagna noodles in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover noodles with 1/2 ricotta mixture, 1/3 of the sauce, 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese, 1/3 Parmesan cheese, and Repeat. Top with remaining noodles, sauce and cheeses.
Cover with greased foil paper to prevent sticking and bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes Covered; Uncover for another 30 minutes. Let stand for at least 25 minutes before serving.
