Anyone have a killer Lasagna recipe?

[milosh]

I know you Americans are all about the turkey right now, but does anyone have a really good recipe for lasagna? I need to make it for lunch on Saturday.

Pioneer woman. It is divine.

I've made this a couple of times and it is outstanding.

Emeril lagasse's lasagna bolognese is awesome.

My Grandma's:

for 9 x 13" pan
- Season 1 lb lean ground beef with salt, pepper and dash of worchestershire sauce. Brown in large pot with chopped medium onion. Drain and return to low heat.
- Add 1/2 red or green bell pepper, chopped, 3 ribs celery, chopped, and 1/2 a package of mushrooms, chopped.
- Add spices to taste: diced garlic or garlic powder (lots), basil, oregano, dried red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper or tabasco sauce, and 2 bay leaves.
- Add 1 small can tomato paste, 1 large can tomato sauce or jar of passata and 1 large can diced tomatoes, drained.
- Let simmer covered on low heat, stirring occasionally, for at least 1 hour. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Remove bay leaves before assembling lasagna.

In 9 x 13" pan layer as follows:
- Thin layer of meat sauce on bottom.
- Layer of oven-ready noodles (pre-cooked or non-pre-cooked variety)
- Layer of meat sauce
- 1/2 package of ricotta or cottage cheese
- noodles, meat, 1/2 of cheese again.
- Another layer of noodles, a thin layer of meat sauce.
- Top with mixture of shredded mozzarella and parmesan or asiago. Make sure this is thick. Sliced mozzarella also works.

Put the 9 x 13" pan on top of a large cookie sheet to capture overflow. Bake at 350F for 35 - 45 minutes, with foil covering the top until the final 10 minutes. Let rest for minimum 5 minutes before serving.

Any meat sauce leftovers can be used for spaghetti. Our speghetti sauce recipe is the exact same stuff.

Despite the name, tacosforlife needs to be tagged for all lasagna threads.

Something a little different than traditional but delicious.

how can the 'world's best laasagna' only contain a measley 12 lasagna noodles.  WHUT?

How many layers are you doing!? Actually though, I probably always do about 15 noodles, 5 per layer.

It's a single 9 x 13 pan - it only takes 4 noodles to cover each layer and you only need three layers of noodles.

I don't eat lasagna for the noodles. I eat it for the baked cheesy goodness with sauce.

Also - sugar should never be used in a tomato sauce dish. I know people claim it cuts the acidity, but that's also what the cheese is for.

Crockpot Lasagna. We love to make this.

[BeagleMama]

I go to Sam's Club, buy a family size Stouffer's lasagna. Then dump it in my own dish, add more parm to the top and bake. ! Bon appetit!

I refuse to believe Crockpot lasagna would be anything but disgusting.

I just don't get how it's less work? You either do the work in the morning or when you come home! I do crockpot stuff because it's easy and less work. If I have to cook meat before putting it in the crockpot, eb out!

It has anchovies in it. I used to eat that shit for lunch frequently, then i read the ingredients. There is one that has been in our freezer for probably a year because I got grossed out at not knowing what I was eating all that time.

So that all recipes one is good. It was a little sweet for us but we like the recipe. We scale the sugar back a bit.

Fast forward a few years and, while making it from my long ago printed recipe, I realize I was working with the man who posted the recipe! Nice guy, and currently working on a frozen version of it. He has been on morning news shows and magazines over the past few years talking about the recipe.
