Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Pasta

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tsp rapeseed oil
2 onions, finely chopped
4 celery sticks (about 175g), finely diced
4 carrots (320g), finely diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
400g lean (5% fat) mince beef
400g can chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato purée
2 tsp vegetable bouillon
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
6 wholewheat lasagne sheets (105g)
400ml whole milk
50g wholemeal flour
1 bay leaf
generous grating of nutmeg
15g finely grated parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat the slow cooker if necessary. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and fry the onions, celery, carrots and garlic for 5-10 mins, stirring frequently until softened and starting to colour. Tip in the meat and break it down with a wooden spoon, stirring until it browns. Pour in the tomatoes with a quarter of a can of water, the tomato purée, bouillon, balsamic vinegar, thyme and plenty of black pepper, return to the boil and cook for 5 mins more.
  • Spoon half the mince in the slow cooker and top with half the lasagne, breaking it where necessary so it covers as much of the meat layer as possible. Top with the rest of the meat, and then another layer of the lasagne. Cover and cook on Low while you make the sauce.
  • Tip the milk and flour into a pan with the bay leaf and nutmeg and cook on the hob, whisking continuously until thickened. Carry on cooking for a few mins to cook the flour. Remove the bay leaf and stir in the cheese. Pour onto the pasta and spread out with a spatula, then cover and cook for 3 hours until the meat is cooked and the pasta is tender. Allow to settle for 10 mins before serving with salad.

SLOW-COOKER LASAGNA (BY KRAFT)



Slow-Cooker Lasagna (By Kraft) image

I never thought I'd ever make lasagna in a slow cooker! This is exceptional! I did opt to use my own spaghetti sauce, but there isn't anything wrong in using the bottled. I just prefer mine. I used the same amounts. You may choose to use some Italian sausage along with the ground beef. If so, just remove the casing from the sausage, break it up and cook it right along with the ground beef. **Note** You may want to check your lasagna after about 3 1/2 hours, don't cook it too long. Note* 12/2014 Sorry Kraft, I use parmesan that I grate myself. You can do as you please.
