Lasagna is an Italian dish, which is based on some simple ingredients, but which, put together, manage to create a fabulous dish.Lasagna can also be cooked in a vegetarian version, with spinach and ricotta, or any other combination of vegetables and cheese.The classic recipe is the one with meat sauce, Bechamel Sauce and cheese, and I have chosen to present you a kids friendly version of this delicious dish.
First, select the Program Brown/ Sautee on your Crockpot for 15 minutes;
Once the pot is heated, pour some vegetable oil and add the vegetables (without the mushrooms). Add some salt, black pepper and sweet paprika and mix them well.
After 5 minutes, add the ground beef meat. Add salt and pepper as you prefer.
Once the program is finished, add the mushrooms.
Then, add the tomato juice. If you think the sauce needs more liquid, add some water.
Close the lid and select the Slow cooking program, using High temperature for 4h 30 min. If you are in a hurry, you can also choose the MEAT program and cook the meat sauce with high pressure.
Once the meat sauce is ready, we can start assembling the lasagna dish like this:
Using a greased tray, put a layer of meat sauce, then add the lasagna sheets;
On top of the lasagna layer, add a layer of Bechamel sauce;
Then add the meat sauce layer again and some cheese (I like to use mozzarella).
We continue to repeat this process until we use all the ingredients.
Take into consideration that in the top we have to put Bechamel sauce, followed by meat sauce and cheese. The top layer of cheese should be consistent.
Once you finished assembling the lasagna dish, cook it in the oven for 45-50 minutes at 180℃.
