Step 4

Ingredients List
Important Notes
Use minced beef with 12% to 20% fat content to ensure the meat sauce stays juicy and flavorful.
Finely dicing the mushrooms and carrots is a great trick to hide vegetables from picky eaters as they melt into the rich sauce.
Add the milk to the hot roux slowly and whisk continuously to ensure a smooth, lump-free white sauce.
Ensure the dry lasagne sheets do not overlap during assembly, or they may remain hard and uncooked in those spots after baking.
