Easy peasey Lady!
I used ground pork this time (because of road conditions, the store was out of most meats), but use ground beef usually.
Fry it up with garlic, onions, spinach, peppers and mushrooms, then drain off the fat. I then put in a jar of my canned tomatoes from the summer, either the crushed or chopped version.
Italian herbs: oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil. Also a nice big tablespoon of basil pesto to help fill out the flavour - we like things VERY flavourful at our house!
Layer in the pan with par-cooked gf lasagna noodles, shredded smoked gouda, smoked mozza, and fresh parm.
Into the oven till golden and bubbly. Yum!
We get our cheese directly from Bothwell, which is just a half an hour away. If you go on-site, they have all the trim ends that they can't sell in stores. We buy about $100 worth of the 'specialty' kinds, then take it home and shred into our own mix for lasagna, pizza, pasta, etc. Put the whole bag into the freezer so it keeps. We're big on the smoked ones, but they have a nice Chai Tea one, a Madagascar Green Peppercorn, etc. that are all really nice too.
