Ingredients

For the beef

  • 1 pack lasagna sheets
  • 2 lb. minced beef
  • 1 yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1 can Tomato and Onion mix
  • 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 ½ tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 3 tsp beef spice
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 cup cream cheese

For the sauce

  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 4 Tbsp flour
  • 2 cups cheese cheddar and gouda
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • First things first, put your oven on 350⁰F
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, gently fry your onions. Add the sugar and salt to the onions and fry until golden.
  • Add the minced beef to the pan and turn the heat up. Before stirring the minced beef, add all the spices. Stir the minced beef until golden brown. Add the red wine, tomato and onion mix, and ketchup.
  • Turn the heat down to a low and leave to simmer for 45 minutes.
  • While the beef is simmering, start with the sauce.
  • In a microwave-safe container, melt the butter and flour until it forms a paste. Mix in 2 Tbsp of your milk until the paste is liquid.
  • Stir in the rest of the milk, whisking vigorously while doing so—microwave for three minutes stirring every 20seconds.
  • After two minutes in the microwave, add one cup of cheddar. Microwave for one more minute, don't forget to stir consistently
  • When the sauce is thick and cheesy, add salt and pepper to taste.
  • In an oven dish, start with your layers. First layer a little bit of sauce, pack the first layer of lasagna sheet on top of the sauce.
  • Then a layer of the ground beef, followed by a layer of sauce and a layer of pasta.
  • At this point, spread your cream cheese over the pasta and repeat the layers as before.
  • Layer the remaining cup of gouda on top of the lasagna.
  • Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
  • Enjoy your Best Cheesy Lasagna!
