Home Made Lasagne

This is a recipe that I have used for years it was given to me by a good friend. I have halved the amount of beef mince and added half the amount of mince with Quorn mince. I have also used half fat cheddar cheese to reduce the amount of points for this meal.

Lasagne serves 6,

250 grams lean mince beef,
250 grams quorn mince,
141 grams half fat cheddar cheese grated,
2 large onions,
2 tin’s chopped tomato,
3 beef Oxo,
2 Table spoons tomato puree,
Salt and pepper,
340 grams of dry lasagne sheets,

For the white sauce,

56 grams plain flour,
56 grams butter or margarine,
1 Pint of milk, Salt and pepper,

White sauce method,

Melt the butter or margarine and then add the flour, should look like soft dough. Keep on heat, add a little milk at a time, and bring to the boil mixing all the time. Continue to do this until all milk is used. Add salt and pepper to taste. Take off heat finished.

Lasagne Method,

Finely chop the onion and then add the mince and onion to a pan and cook them add salt and pepper, Oxo, tin of toms and tomato puree. You made to add a little water but keep the mix fairly dry. Prepare a suitable dish to cook in. Line the dish with some of the white sauce and grated cheese, cover this with sheets of lasagne and then cover with some of the mince and add a ladle of white sauce and a little of the cheese. Repeat this until all of the mince has been used. And then cover the top layer of lasagne with the remainder of the white sauce and cheese. Cover with a lid and put in the oven at 200 degrees c or gas mark six for 30 minutes and then remove the lid and continue for the next 15 minutes to brown the top.

This is the first time of trying this meal with half meat and half Quorn. I would give this meal 7 out of 10 as the normal recipe has a lot more flavour.
As a meal on a diet it was very flavoursome and was very filling.
