recipe reviews for:

American Lasagna

“Lasagna appeals to the eye as well as to the taste buds. Here, ground beef, onion, garlic, basil, tomatoes and a dash of brown sugar make up the sauce, while ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, eggs and parsley are the filling for this layered casserole. Prepare up to 2 days in advance, if desired, and chill covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Increase the baking time by about 15 minutes.”

I AGREE YOU NEED MORE SAUCE . TRY WHAT YOU WANT UNTIL YOU ET ENOUGH. I PUT IN 1 LARGE TOMATO BITS OR STEWED, 1 TOMATO PASTE AND 2 CRUSHED TOMATO CANS. ALSO INCREASED ONION AND GARLIC. ALSO INCREASE COOKING TIME. LIKE ALL RECIPES I'VE FOUND YOU HAVE TO TWEEK. LOOK AT A RECIPE AND SEE IF IT MAKES SENSE FOR WHAT YOU ARE CREATING. IT IS A GREAT STARTER.THIS REQUIRED MORE SAUCE DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT.

I love trying new recipes, and my husband has a 5 star rating system to let me know which recipes to make again since I hardly make the same recipes twice. He said this is a 5 star recipe! we all loved it. we used tortillas instead of noodles.

I've made a few different lasagna recipes and this is the one I'll stick with. The ingredients are simple and it's the BEST sauce I've ever made, and I've made homemade sauce many times but never with brown sugar. I had a feeling the sauce would be dry with so much paste and no water, so I added a half a can of tomato sauce and three ladles full of the starch water from noodles and 1 pound of lean burger. It wasn't dry, but it wasn't enough. Next time I will double sauce ingredients like most other reviewers suggested (I should have read them before I made it). Overall this is an excellent recipe.

The kids helped make the lasagna and the whole family LOVED it!! this is now one of our favourites! Especially because the kids can help with the grating, mixing and layering. Great for teaching the kids confidence in the kitchen! AND THE BEST LASAGNA WE'VE EVER MADE!YUM!!

I've tried several recipes, this one is the best. My only suggestion is to double the sauce. I've done that every time since the first time I have made it. And get one of those deep foil lasagna pans that you can throw away. You'll need the space.
