Cooking with @fat-elvis

Good day steemit,

It's time for another installment of Cooking with @fat-elvis.

Today on the menu is 3 cheese beefy lasagna

Start by cooking down 8 Roma tomatoes, pureed. Once it is nice and thick, add about 1/4 cup finely chopped basil.

Caramelize one onion.

This can be sped up by frying diced onion in butter, for about 1 minute, until the onion pieces are nicely coated in butter, then add 1/4 tsp sugar and 1/2 tsp sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and stirring. The onion should caramelize in a couple minutes.

Then add ground beef and stir together with the onion.and add 1tbsp crushed garlic. Don't brown the meat too much, a little pink is preferred.

Put some sauce in a 9"x13" pan, and put in a layer of hard lasagna noodles. I like these sheet noodles the best, but whatever kind you like.

Next, a bit of the ground beef and onion, Not too much, though, it's all about the layers! And add some sauce, then a layer of noodles.

Now it's veggie time. But before that, spread out some sour cream on the noodles, trust me, you'll like it!

I used yellow bell pepper, but spinach is great, or even carrot slices, or eggplant for that matter.

Add another layer of noodles, and the rest of the beef. And add more sauce.

Finally one more layer of noodles and a generous amount of sauce. Then top with cheese.

Now here's a top tip: cheese is awesome, so use lots, and use more than one kind. Sure, you could use just shredded mozzarella, and be the laughing stock of your community, or you could use fresh mozzarella, aged cheddar and smoked Gouda, and be a big hero!

Remember: first you get the cheese, then you get the power, then you get the women!🤣

Cover with foil, and try to have the foil not touching the cheese. Then bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

After the 30 minutes, uncover and continue baking for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is browned up nicely.

Remove from oven and enjoy!

Bon Appetit!
