Lasagne like a Canadian

Noodles!

Boil them. One box or a bit less.

Onions and garlic.

Cook them until the onions are clear. One big onion and two cloves of garlic.

Cheese!

Grate that shit. Mozzarella and parmesan. One big block of mozza and one small one of parm. Big is like banana length.

Sauce.

Add about 1kg lean beef to the onion. (That's about 2lbs.) Don't judge me. Canada is dark and cold, and meat and cheese is what makes it better. When beef is cooked, add 1 big can diced tomatoes and one small can tomato paste or store bought spag sauce. Make it simmer and add salt, pepper, basil, oregano etc if you need them.

Line the bottom of your dish

Using your sauce. This prevents the noodles from burning on when it's cooking. It isn't a thick layer, just even.

Make a row of noodles.

Overlap a bit. Canadian meat lasagna is heavy.

The first layer

Put your meat all over that. Rub it on. Mmmm look at that steamy meat. Top it with some of your grated cheese to help the next layer stick. Then make another noodle layer.

The second layer

On top of the noodles, add a bunch of ricotta so the noodles are evenly covered. Then top with more grated cheese. Then another noodle layer. Keep alternating noodles, meat, noodles, cheese. It's the easiest and fasted layering method rather than putting ricotta right on the meat. Your top layer is all the rest of your grated cheese.

Bake at 375

I like to make extra so I have a frozen one handy. Stick your dish in the oven and bake until the top is golden.

NOM NOM/Disclaimer

Wait for it to cool or you will burn your face off. If you don't eat meats, try spinach, kale, eggplant, or broccoli. Sorry to all the Italians I have offended by butchering the lasagne, and the Canadians who think that their lasagne is better than mine.
