Cost Breakdown
Critical Success Points
- • Browning the ground beef completely to develop flavor.
- • Simmering the sauce low and slow so the seasonings meld.
- • Cooking the noodles al dente – overcooked noodles become mushy.
- • Covering the lasagna while it bakes the first 35 minutes to keep it moist.
- • Broiling at the end for a golden, bubbly cheese crust.
Safety Warnings
- • Hot oil and boiling water can cause severe burns – use oven mitts.
- • The broiler gets extremely hot; keep the kitchen well‑ventilated and stay nearby.
