I Can’t Believe It’s Not Mince Lasagne

My husband loves his meat and thinks vegetarian food is for tree-hugging hippies.

So when I served what I call ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Mince Lasagne’ – he didn’t even know.  Until I told him that is.  Refried beans mixed with the lentils just the right way gives the impressions and taste of mince – he didn’t even suspect!  Give this a go!

Method

  1. Open the tin of refried beans and pour into a bowl with the crushed tomatoes, lentils and Italian herbs.  Mix well and set aside.

  2. Make your cheese sauce as per the Stay at Home Mum recipe.

  3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and use canola oil to very gently grease the bottom of a deep baking dish.

  4. Using a large spoon, layer enough of the refried bean mix to just cover the bottom of the baking tray.

  5. Add the lasagne noodles to cover without overlapping.

  6. Layer the cheese sauce on top.

  7. Keep stacking the layers in that order until you run out of ingredients.

  8. Top with the cup of grated cheese and bake for 40 minutes or until cooked through and golden on top.
