BEEF LASAGNA
This is pretty much how lasagna gets made in Australia, usually no cottage cheese or ricotta. I have been making it this way for over 30 years, but can't find a similar recipe on here yet. I find it easier to make the beef sauce the day before, and reheat it a little, but I like to use the cheese sauce hot and freshly made. This mix fills a tray 12x8x3 for me, and I find it easier to cut through the top layer with kitchen scissors before taking to it with a knife to cut into serving portions.

Steps:
- Meat Sauce: Heat the oil in a large fry pan over a medium heat.
- Add the onion and bacon and cook until the onion is golden and tender.
- Add the minced garlic and cook a couple of minutes more.
- Add the mince and cook, breaking up with a fork, until the meat has all changed colour.
- Now add the tomato paste and "cook it out" for another minute or two before adding the wine.
- Allow the wine to reduce a little, before adding the remaining sauce ingredients.
- Simmer until reduced and thickened and a deep rich red/ brown.
- *You could call this"cooked" in 30 minutes, but I like to let it simmer about 2 hours, stirring regularly to make sure it's not catching.
- Add a little more broth or water if it looks like doing so.
- Cheese Sauce:.
- Melt the butter, add the flour and stir well.
- Allow to cook gently for about 2 minutes, then add the milk all in one go, and whisk briskly until heated and thickened.
- Allow to cook a couple of minutes more on a simmer.
- Add the cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Assembly of the lasagna:.
- Spread a little of the beef sauce across the bottom of your pan.
- Cover with a layer of beef sauce and drizzle about half a cup of cheese sauce over this-no need to be too particular.
- Cover with a layer of lasagna sheets.
- Repeat the beef sauce and cheese sauce two more times, then a final layer of sheets.
- Spread the remaining cheese sauce (there should be about 1 cup) over the last layer of sheets, and sprinkle with the shredded parmesan cheese.
- Bake in a moderate oven for about 1 hour.
- Allow to stand about 15 minutes before cutting into squares to serve.

BETTER BEEF LASAGNA
This crowd-pleaser is beefed up with veggies in every layer, portobello mushrooms in the meat, spinach in the cheese, and of course tomato sauce in between. No one will notice they're eating their vegetables, they'll be too busy devouring their cheesy beef lasagna.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cook the noodles al dente according to the directions on the package. Drain well, then lay out on wax paper to prevent them from sticking to each other.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking up the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon, about 3 minutes. Transfer the meat to a plate, discarding any fat remaining in the skillet.
- Heat the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid is evaporated and they begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Return the meat to the pan. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, stir in 2 cups of the tomato sauce, and simmer for 2 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, spinach, egg, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the black pepper, and nutmeg.
- Spread 1 cup of the remaining tomato sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce, touching but not overlapping. Spread half of the ricotta mixture on top of the noodles. Add another layer of noodles. Top with half the beef-mushroom mixture. Repeat with another layer of noodles, then the remaining cheese mixture, more noodles, the remaining beef mixture, and finally one more layer of noodles. Top the final layer of noodles with the remaining 1 cup tomato sauce, then sprinkle with the grated cheeses. Cover loosely with foil. Bake for 45 minutes, uncover, and bake 15 minutes more.

MOUTHWATERING BEEF LASAGNA
I happened to get this recipe from the internet months ago and have already made it many times since I'm a big lasagna fan! I adapted it a little bit this time. Surprisingly the result came out so great. My hubby loved it so much and said this is the way in which I should make my lasagnas in the future! We ate it with some freshly toasted garlic bread. WOW!--so yummy:-) And of course, you can prepare in advance. Just let it cool and store it in the fridge for a couple of days and then microwave it on the highest temperature for 2 minutes and you're ready to enjoy! The leftovers even tastes better!
