  • Casserole Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 2.25 lbs ground beef
  • 1.5 oz bread crumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 diced onion
  • 1 chopped garlic clove
  • 2 tbsp chopped basil
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • some oil
  • 1 oz butter
  • 1 oz flour
  • 17 fl oz milk
  • 11 cooked lasagna noodles
  • 17 fl oz tomato sauce
  • 14 oz diced ham
  • 7 oz shredded mozzarella

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the ingredients for the meatballs to a very large bowl and knead them together using your hands. Once the ingredients have been well mixed, start making meatballs that are 1½ inches in diameter until all of the meat is used up.
  • Fry the meatballs in hot oil until they are brown all over.
  • Melt the butter in a pot and stir the flour in. Once the butter has frothed up, add the milk. Season with salt and pepper, stir everything well using a whisk, and take the pot from the heat once the sauce has been brought to the boil.
  • Fill the bottom of a casserole dish with half of the béchamel sauce, cover it with three lasagna sheets, and place 12 meatballs on top of them. Spoon a generous tablespoon of tomato sauce onto each meatball, sprinkle on a third of the mozzarella, and then add half of the cooked ham. Now proceed as follows: four lasagna sheets, béchamel sauce, cooked ham, mozzarella, four lasagna sheets, 12 meatballs, tomato sauce, mozzarella.
  • Bake the lasagna at 340°F in a convection oven for 40 minutes.
