If there is one recipe on my grid that you need to try it’s 100% this one 🤤 it was incredible. A small change made such a difference in flavor.
Ingredients.
8 lasagne sheets
500g 5% beef mince
150g diced smoked bacon
1 onion (finely diced)
2 medium carrots (finely diced)
2 peppers (sliced or diced)
2 cloves garlic (finely grated)
1tbs tomato purée
1tbs Italian mixed herbs
1 beef stock cube
500g passata
2tbs light butter
2tbs plain flour
300ml milk (warmed)
1tsp mustard (optional)
60g cheese
60g cheddar
Salt and pepper to taste.
Method.
Fry off the onions, carrots and peppers until soft then add the garlic. Add your smoked bacon and allow to cook for a few minutes, then add the beef mince and cook until brown. Add the tomato purée, stock cube, herbs and passata and allow to cook on a low heat for at least 30 min (longer the better). Meanwhile pop the butter into a separate saucepan and melt. Once melted add in the flour and stir into a paste. Add the warmed milk in bit by bit, stirring constantly so no lumps are formed. Once your sauce is thick add in the mustard and the Boursin, stir until the cheese has melted and then season to taste. Layer the bolognaise and lasagne sheets and then top with the béchamel and the cheese. Put it into a pre heated oven for 30-40 minutes or until cooked through and golden. Serve and enjoy.
