Ingredients
Applewood Smoked Cheddar Sauce
- 8 oz shredded Applewood Smoked Cheddar
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
Meat Sauce
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 4 cups tomato sauce, divided
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
Other
- 1 package oven-ready lasagna sheets
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- In a medium sauce pan over medium low heat, mix together shredder cheddar, parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and garlic powder. Whisk until the cheese has melted and the sauce is a thick, creamy consistency. Set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions in the oil and cook until softened.
- Add ground beef and cook until it has changed in color.
- Stir in 3 cups of tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese in the ground beef mixture. Let simmer for about 3-5 minutes on low heat, stirring frequently.
- In a 13x9 pan, spread 1 cup of the remaining tomato sauce. Layer with uncooked lasagna noodles, then 1/3 of the meat sauce and 1/3 of the cheese sauce. Repeat the layering process 2 more times. Top the last layer of lasagna sheets with shredded mozarella.
- Cover lasagna with aluminum foil and bake covered about 35 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly.
- After baking, let lasagna sit for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy :)
