DESCRIPTION
In this video cooking lesson, Chef Toby shows you how to make homemade lasagna.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Package of ready-to-bake lasagna
- 1 Pound of ground beef
- 1/2 Onion
- 1/2 Teaspoon salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon pepper
- 1 Teaspoon dry basil
- Olive oil
- 1/3 Cup of Mexican table cream (or sour cream). We use the Mexican table cream because it's not so sour, and it's easy to pour. If you use sour cream then you will need to scoop it.
- 2 Cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 Jars of your favorite spaghetti sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pour about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan at medium heat. Chop the onion and put in pan to fry. Add the ground beef, the salt and pepper. Continue mixing and breaking the meat up. Add the basil.
