Yield: 1 9×13-inch lasagna

Ingredients

  1. 9 lasagna noodles
  2. 1 pound ground beef
  3. ½ onion, diced
  4. ¼ cup diced green bell pepper
  5. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 3 tablespoons butter
  7. 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  8. 1 cup milk
  9. ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  10. 1 ½ (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  11. ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  12. salt and ground black pepper to taste
  13. 1 pinch herbes de Provence
  14. garlic powder
  15. 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  16. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. Combine ground beef, onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until beef is no longer pink, 5 to 8 minutes.
  4. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in flour; cook for 1 minute. Pour in milk and heavy cream. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  5. Spread 1/4 of tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover with 3 lasagna noodles. Spoon 1/3 of the beef mixture over noodles. Spread 1/4 of tomato sauce and 1/3 of white sauce over beef mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence, and garlic powder on top. Cover with 1/3 of the Swiss cheese and mozzarella cheese.
  6. Repeat layers twice, starting with noodles and ending with cheeses.
  7. Bake lasagna in the preheated oven until top is deeply browned, 30 to 45 minutes.

Not Lasagna. Some kind of Bechamel cassarole.
Cheryl Kelley DVM
This lasagna doesn’t layer up as high as some others but the flavor is awesome!!! I did add nutmeg to the béchamel .
Theresa Wiggins
I loved the white sauce. Next time I will make this in a smaller pan to make it a little thicker but this recipe is a keeper.

I put a little cayenne nutmeg and parmesan into the béchamel, used orange bell pepper instead of green, and doubled the tomato sauce. Also, didn’t measure cheese, just put a generous amount of swiss on each layer and about half as much mozzarella on top of swiss.
