Easy Beef Lasagna Without Ricotta

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Beef Lasagna Without Ricotta.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious lasagna, grab a small saucepan and melt some butter over medium-low heat.

2. Step 2

   Once it’s all melted, stir in flour, salt, and pepper until the flour is completely blended in.

3. Step 3

   Now, gradually whisk in warm milk, stirring continuously until your mixture thickens into a creamy white sauce—this should take about 2 to 4 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Once it’s thickened, remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool a bit.

5. Step 5

   Next, let’s move to a large skillet.

6. Step 6

   Heat it over medium-high heat and add your ground beef.

7. Step 7

   Cook it while stirring frequently until it’s nicely browned and crumbly, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Don’t forget to drain any excess grease to keep your dish light and tasty.

9. Step 9

   Now, stir in your spaghetti sauce and a pinch of nutmeg, letting it heat through for about 5 minutes.

10. Step 10

    This will add a lovely depth of flavor to your meat sauce.

11. Step 11

    While that’s simmering, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready for your lasagna.

12. Step 12

    Now, let’s start layering! Spread a generous layer of the meat sauce at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

13. Step 13

    Next, place a layer of no-boil lasagna noodles on top, followed by one-third of your creamy white sauce.

14. Step 14

    Then, add half of the remaining meat sauce, one-third of the Mexican cheese blend, and one-third of the Parmesan cheese.

15. Step 15

    Repeat this layering process one more time to build up those delicious flavors.

16. Step 16

    For the final touch, add one last layer of lasagna noodles, pour on the remaining white sauce, and top it all off with the rest of the Mexican cheese blend and Parmesan cheese.

17. Step 17

    To keep those noodles nice and moist while baking, pour a little water around the edges of the dish.

18. Step 18

    Cover your masterpiece with aluminum foil and pop it into the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

19. Step 19

    After that, remove the foil and let it bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly—this is the moment you’ve been waiting for! Once it’s out of the oven, let your lasagna stand for about 10 minutes before serving.

20. Step 20

    This will help it set up nicely, making it easier to slice and serve.

    Enjoy every cheesy, meaty bite of your homemade lasagna!.
