| 1. Sauté ground beef in a skillet in butter until it loses its pink color. | 2. Transfer to a pot. | 3. Peel and chop onions. | 4. Sauté until transparent. | 5. Add to meat. | 6. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, bouillon cube, minced garlic and seasonings. | 7. Cook over medium low heat, covered, for about 20 minutes. | 8. For sauce, melt butter in a sauce-pan. | 9. Add flour. | 10. Stir to combine. | 11. Add milk, stirring. | 12. Cook for 3 minutes until thickened. | 13. Add most of the cheese. | 14. Let melt. | 15. Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg. | 16. Pour half the sauce in bottom of an oven-proof casserole. | 17. Cover with lasagna noodles. | 18. Layer with meat sauce and lasagna noodles. | 19. Pour remaining sauce over top. | 20. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. | 21. Bake at 400°F for about 60 minutes. | 22. TIP: Substitute ground chicken for half of ground meat to make the lasagna leaner. For softer less crisp noodles cover with foil during bake time. My family likes it if I use curly lasagna and the curly part gets a bit crispy. For those that don't the foil is the way to go. One reader suggested to me that adding an extra 1/2 cup of water to the sauce makes for a softer noodle if you prefer too :). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
