Beef lazagne

Hey guys! So I started this blog a while ago but haven't been posting any recipes <my bad> So I thought I'd change that by sharing a recipe I've come to love. Everyone loves lazagne! Its like pizza -you can throw in anything you want and it always turns out very well. So here it goes. This is a recipe I put together a couple of yrs ago and its never failed me.






Ingredients <serves 6>

Minced beef
4 cloves Garlic
1 white onion
1 large Red capsicum-pepper
1 large Yellow capsicum-pepper
2 Aubergines
3 Tomatoes <grated>
2 packets Tomato paste
1 beef chilli cube
Oregano/mixed herbs
black pepper
2 Tablespoon Royco
2 cups water
1 packet lazagne sticks
cooking cream
Cheddar or edam cheese
Mozarella cheese






 Chop up and cook the garlic and onions together. Chop and add peppers and aubergine.





Grate 3 tomatoes and add to cook. Add tomato paste and cook for a few minutes. Add meat and cook till brown. Then add various spices, and water and leave to cook.

Boil water and put in large bowl. Add lazagne sticks for 10 minutes until cooked. *note do not boil lazgne sticks the way you boil pasta.* 
Grate cheese. 
Once everything is cooked, you can now put it all together. Always start with a stew base, then place lazagne sticks and add stew, cheese, cooking cream in that order. You can have as many layers as you want. 
Add oregano or mixed spices on the last and top layer as a garnish.
Pop in oven till cheese is melted*aprox 15 minutes* Heat oven to 180 degrees 10 minutes before.  Once it is ready, remove and leave to cool down for about 10 minutes. *Note if you serve it immediately it will be hard to get a good square cut without everything spilling out* 





Enjoy your meal with a salad and a fresh baguette. Garnish with paprika. 





Food for thought:-
1 Corinthians 10:31
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
