Creamy Meat Lasagna



Ingredients:
Sauce:
1/4 Onion, chopped
2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
200g Tomato Paste (7 oz.)
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Basil
1 teaspoon Oregano
1/2 teaspoon Marjoram
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Sugar

Meat:
500 g (1 Lb.) ground Beef
1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
2/3 Cup Water
7 Lasagna Noodles

Topping:
3 Tablespoons Milk
125 g (4.4 oz) Creme Fraiche
150 g (5.29 oz) shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 200°C (417°F).
In a small sauce pan heat 2 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil. Satue onions in oil until tender. Add all other sauce ingredients and stir together on medium heat. Then, lower temperature to lowest stove top setting and cover to keep warm until the meat is prepared.

In a large skillet heat 1 Tablespoon of oil. Brown the meat until it's completely cooked. Add the sauce to the meat and stir together. Add 2/3 Cup of Water and stir until completely combined.

In a small rectangular or square casserole dish, layer the meat sauce then the noodles (starting with meat sauce onthe very bottom and ending with meat sauce on top).

In a small sauce pan on low-heat combine Milk and Creme Fraiche until completely mixed. Do not wait for it to simmer or to boil! Then, pour evenly over the top of the lasagna. Top with shredded Mozzarella Cheese.

Bake on the middle wrack of the oven for 20 minutes. If you would like the cheese to be crispy, let it bake a little longer, if not, remove imediatly and serve! If you want both crispy and not-crispy cheese, then cover half of the casserole with aluminum foil.

Serve with Salad! Enjoy!
