I hate lasagne. The boys love it. To make it properly, you have to invest time. But apparently it is worth it. Gags-ville and a giant pain in my jacksie. The boys tricked me saying they would help. Did they? No. They did manage a pretty good assembly (under supervision) and husband did make salad. And dishes were done. And they were very kind to me for making it. And devoured it. Full boys, not annoying me, winning. Husband even smiled and nodded!

You can really do anything with lasagne. I recommend a food processor (because I am lazy). It is great vessel to hide vegetables in as well! Zzzzz them small enough and they will never know! Great way to use up your fridge contents.

Any kind of mince, generally I use beef. Or a mix of pork/beef. Chicken and Pork would be good too. Go crazy. I run with whatever is on special. It also depends on how many you are feeding and if you have special food requirements or what your preferences are. Do NOT take my husbands suggestion of Tuna Lasagne. Disgusting!

Bechemal

Equal parts of butter and flour. 3 TBS of each normally works for us. Heat slowly, whisk. Once it starts to bubble and become combined, start adding milk. Whisk. Watch it carefully. It will thicken quickly and burn. Keep whisking. Keep adding milk. I use full fat milk. When it is thick, add grated cheese. I used a mix of tasty, colby and parmesan. But just use what you have or like. Now this is the trick. Once off heat, let it cool slightly. ADD AN EGG. Whisk. This will set the bechamel and it wont run.

Assemble

Splosh some olive oil in the bottom of your dish. Top with a spoon of bechamel. Layer your lasagne sheets. Top with mince mix. Top with bechemal. Repeat process. Boys did 5 layers. Make sure the last of your sheets are covered with bechemal. If you want you can add more cheese. Totally up to you.

Bake for around 45 mins at 180. Just watch it. Sure as eggs you will smell it
