Refrigerator Lasagne
When I first learned to make this style of lasagne, it was a game changer! Of course I adapted the original recipe to suit our taste, adn our budget. The addition of baked beans stretches the meat - this recipe makes a huge lasagne, or two large, family size lasagnes. It packs well in individual sizes too.
Then I discovered that is the ideal Double-Up Recipe; it only takes about 2 minutes longer to prepare two lasagnes, one for tea the next night and one for the freezer.
Refrigerator Lasagne
Ingredients:
500g mince
2 tins baked beans
250g grated mozzarella
250g grated tasty cheese
250g cottage cheese
2 tins tomato soup
1 tin diced tomatoes
1 large onion, diced
1 tsp dried basil
1 clove garlic, crushed
Lasagne noodles
Method:
Brown meat, garlic, basil and onions; drain. Whizz baked beans until they resemble the mince. Combine baked beans, meat, tomato soup, diced tomatoes and simmer. Use 9"x13" baking dish or cake pan. Pour just enough sauce to cover bottom of pan. Layer raw (uncooked) noodles, sauce, half mozzarella, half tasty cheese and cottage cheese until all used up. Cover with foil. Refrigerate overnight. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 1 hour. Can be frozen after overnight refrigeration; to bake thaw overnight in the fridge.
Notes:
Stretch this meal further by adding 1 cup TVP that has been soaked in 1 cup boiling water for five minutes to the mince after browing.
