Lasagna with Meat Sauce

posted in Main Dishes by Kathy Maister
Difficulty:

When making Lasagna with meat sauce you can add cooked ground beef or cooked ground Italian sausage or cooked turkey-sausage to the sauce for a great tasting lasagna.

To make Lasagna with Meat Sauce, start by reviewing my Spinach Lasagna video:

Skip adding the spinach!

You could leave it in but there are there are a lot of strong flavors competing with one another!

Mix together the cooked meat with the jar of spaghetti sauce and start assembling your lasagna - just like in the video!

Remember the meat must get cooked completely and the fat drained off before adding it to the sauce.

You can make your sauce from scratch by using my Pasta Sauce with Turkey Italian Sausage (shown below) and use it in place of the store bought jar of spaghetti sauce.

When you are assembling your lasagna, the layering of all the ingredients can get confusing.

Just remember to start with about ¾ cup of sauce on the bottom of the pan. Then the order is:

  1. Pasta, sauce, cheeses
  2. Pasta, sauce, cheeses and
  3. Pasta, sauce, cheeses!

Enjoy!

i would like a spinach lasagna with meat sauce

Kathy Maister

Bev, I think you should give it a try and let me know how it turns out!  :)

This lasagna is fast and fantastic!!  I made the meat and the spinach lasagna for Christmas and it was outstanding.  Everyone loved it and even cutting corners w/ pre made ingredients did not cut out any of the flavor that is so loved in a lasagna.  My personal favorite was the meat lasagna which I am making today w/ ground sausage, for another family gathering for more of an italian style.  I just love this video receipe!

Hi Kathy!
 
When you use meat sauce instead of the spinach sauce, do you skip adding the ricotta? .. and then just do pasta, meat sauce, mozzarella cheese?
 
Thanks

Corned beef is not appropriate for this recipe.

Here is a link to my post on How to Cook Corned Beef.
