Lasagna

I think all kids as they get older love Lasagna this is the easiest way I have found to make it.
get the kids involved adding the layers.


500gms minced beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 bottle pasta sauce
2 level tsp sugar
1/2 level tsp dried oregano
1/2 level tsp of basil
1 clove garlic (optional)
Pkt lasagna style pasta
salt
White sauce
3/4 cup flour
3 cups milk
1/2 cup of butter

I make my white sauce in the microwave I add 3/4 cup flour to 3 cups of milk and stir then add 1/2 cup butter and microwave stirring every minute till it cooks and thickens, without lumps.
In a large saucepan cook the minced beef and onion until the beef is browned, stirring when cooked.
Add the tomato sauce, sugar, salt, herbs and garlic (optional)
Bring to the boil stirring. Reduce the heat, cover bring to the boil stirring.
Turn down the heat and let simmer a few minutes stirring occasionally
Meanwhile if using fresh lasagna cook the lasagna in a large saucepan of boiling salted water and drain well
In a greased roasting tin or oven proof dish add a spoonful of white sauce and spread with the back of the spoon,this will stop the lasagna from sticking to the pan. then arrange a layer of lasagna sheets, carefully overlapping them to fit the dish neatly.
Cover with white sauce then some meat sauce finishing with grated cheese repeat ending in Lasagna shells then white sauce and finely cheese
Bake at 200 degrees C for 45 minutes
