Cheat’s lasagne

7th Feb 2012

For those who feel it’s important to lighten up about cooking, which these days can tend to get a bit full of itself, here’s the most basic lasagne recipe YOURLifeChoices could find.

Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 kilo minced beef
Ground chillies
Salt and ground pepper
2 onions
1 medium sized green capsicum
1 bunch spring onions
1 clove garlic
1/2 carton sour cream
2 tablespoons tomato sauce
1 tin tomato soup
1/2 packet of noodles
Grated cheese – try a mix of parmesan and mozzarella if you like

Method
Fry mince in oil until browned. Sprinkle with ground chillies, salt and pepper to taste. Remove from pan and drain then fry onions then the rest of the vegetables again seasoning with ground chillies, salt and pepper. Return meat to pan and mix with vegetables. Add tomato sauce and soup and bring to boil. Allow to cool and fold in sour cream.

Boil noodles in hot water. Place layer of noodles in an oven dish, cover with meat sauce and grated cheese. Repeat the layering process – adding plenty of cheese on top. Cook in oven at medium heat (175°C) for 15–20 minutes.

Enjoy with a glass of dry red and some fresh white bread to soak up the sauce.

Thank you. A great easy recipe.
We enjoy tomato soup in place of tomato paste in Spaghetti Bolognese also
and even on pizza mixed with the meat and onion instead of tomato paste which is too strong for our taste :)
All the best
