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.
