Greek-Style Lasagna Oven Recipe



Ingredients needed:

* 9 dried lasagna noodles
* 1 pound ground lamb or beef
* 1/2 cup of chopped onion
* 2 cloves of minced garlic
* 1 can of tomato sauce
* 1/4 cup of dry red wine or beef broth
* 2 teaspoons of snipped fresh oregano
* 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
* 1 egg, lightly beaten
* 3 tablespoons of butter
* 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
* 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
* 1 3/4 cups of milk
* 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
* 2 eggs, lightly beaten
* 1 2.25 ounce can of sliced pitted ripe olives, drained
* 2 cups of crumbled feta cheese (8 ounces)
* 2 cups of shredded white cheddar cheese

Preparation steps:

* Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain again. Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook ground meat, onion, and garlic powder over medium-high heat until meat is brown, using a wooden spoon to break up meat. Drain fat. Stir in tomato sauce, wine, oregano, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Stir meat mixture into 1 beaten egg.
* For cheese sauce, in a medium saucepan melt butter over medium heat; stir in flour and pepper. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; cook and stir for 1 minute more. Stir in 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. In a small bowl, combine 2 beaten eggs and the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.
* To assemble, spread 2 tablespoons cheese sauce in bottom of a 3 quart rectangular baking dish. Top with three noodles, one-third of meat mixture, one-third remaining cheese sauce, and one-third of the olives. Drizzle with one-third of the egg-Parmesan mixture; sprinkle with 1/3 of the feta cheese and 1/3 of the white cheddar cheese. Repeat layers twice.
* Bake for 40 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes prior to serving. If desired, sprinkle with chopped tomatoes and additional snipped fresh oregano.
