The Ultimate Lasagna
Layer after scrumptious layer of rich meat sauce, tender pasta and creamy cheese make this lasagna the best you'll ever have. The family-friendly classic is just as good when you make it ahead, so it's a Monday night lifesaver.

With no waste from fat or bones, eye of round is more economical than the price tag may indicate. Slice thinly and serve on toasted kaiser rolls with some of the divine sauce.
My dish is a classic family dinner; it has meat, potatoes, and vegetables. It can also be a grab and go, if you make the sandwich on its own. This dish must be served hot, on a Kaiser roll. It is ideal to hollow out some of the roll, this helps avoid spillage. In my household we serve it with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans. When we have celebrations in our home we like to cook buffet style, and these sandwiches are ideal because the meat can sit in a slow cooker and be eaten periodically without any affect to its taste. My inspiration for this pulled venison sandwich came from my father; the reasoning behind that is, he hunts for deer and brings us meat. After several years of cooking it the same way I became bored of it and looked for a new solution. Being an avid watcher of the Food Network I am inspired by many Chefs who appear on that channel. Following an episode of Rachel Ray?s 30 Minutes Meals I decided to try her pulled pork recipe with venison instead. This was a hit at my dinner table and now we can?t get enough of it!
Lasagna is the go-to meal that feeds a crowd and leaves everyone asking for seconds. We have many different lasagnas in our repertoire, but this one is classic in its simplicity.
This dish can be served with or without the basic Tomato Sauce. If one chooses to have it with tomatoe sauce it is best to make the sauce first so that as the sauce cooks and becomes flavourful the rest of the recipe can be prepared. Sauce can be made in advanced to save time and so flavours have a chance to blend, making the sauce tastier. I like to make it a day in advance or even have it ready in the freezer for other pasta dishes.
The ingredient list may look long, but the techniques are straightforward and the results well worth the effort.
The best part about this classic poutine? The gravy is made using store-bought broth, so you don't have to make your own. With a few added aromatics, it has all the intense, meaty flavour of homemade. If you're really pressed for time, use frozen fries and be done in about 30 minutes.
One evening I had a potato lasagna while out for dinner with my husband, that I truly enjoyed. My daughter loves lasagna but is unable to eat ricotta cheese, and adores goat cheese. I decided to combine the two ideas and continued to play with recipe until I came up with this one, enjoy!
