GRAMMY'S OVERNIGHT LASAGNA



Grammy's Overnight Lasagna image

My Grammy's version of lasagna. Prepared the day before and left in the fridge overnight, it pops quickly into the oven and is on the table in no time. Sometimes I'll gussy it up with herbs and spices, but there is something nice and simple and homey about how Grammy made it. Easily halved or doubled!

LAZY-DAY OVERNIGHT LASAGNA



Lazy-Day Overnight Lasagna image

This is the lasagna recipe that I have used for years. I like the fact that you don't have to cook the noodles first. Found this in one of those cookbooks that you find at the check out stand. My recipe is getting tattered and worn so I thought I would post it here for safe keeping. Cooking time does not include setting overnight. I've posted the recipe to be gluten free, but you could easily use regular noodles in place of the brown rice lasagna.

OVERNIGHT LASAGNA



Overnight Lasagna image

You do not cook the noodles in this lasagna. The tomato juice soaks into the noodle and softens them for cooking. This is a very tasty dish and great when you have company coming the next day and you have to entertain. You just pop it in the oven and make salad and garlic bread. The wonderful flavor is amazing. It is quick...

Categories     Beef

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pkg lasagna noodles
1 lb ground chuck
1 jar(s) your favorite marinara sauce
1 large onion sliced with 1/4 chopped fine
1 green pepper sliced
1 pkg turkey pepperoni
12 oz mozzarella cheese
1 c shredded asiago cheese
1 c parmesan cheese
2 c ricotta cheese
3 garlic clove chopped
1 Tbsp oregano
1 Tbsp basil
24 oz tomato juice
1/2 c button mushrooms

Steps:

  • 1. Brown ground chuck in a skillet with 1/4 c of onion chopped fine, mushrooms and garlic. Once the hamburg is brown add the sauce.
  • 2. Mix the ricotta cheese, oregano, basil and 1 cup of parm.
  • 3. In a 9x12 pan layer 3 tablespoons of sauce and 1/2 cup of tomato juice.
  • 4. Add lasagna noodle in the pan and cover with sauce. Next take the sliced onions and pull them apart and lay over top of the sauce. Take spoonfuls of the ricotta cheese mix and dollop over the onion. Place the green pepper on top and layer turkey pepperoni on top of that. Sprinkle Mozaarella cheese and Asiago cheese on top of the pepperoni. I just put a light coating. Layer noodles and repeat the whole process again. On the top layer put down the parm first and then the mozzarella cheese and asiago.
  • 5. Take the tomato juice and pour all around the edges and cover with clear plastic wrap.
  • 6. Set it in the fridge for atleast 8 hours. I normally let mine set overnight.
  • 7. Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour till the cheese is brown and bubbly. You may have to cook it a little longer as it is cold when you put it in the oven. Let set for 20 minutes before serving.

GRAMMY'S OVERNIGHT LASAGNA RECIPE



Grammy's Overnight Lasagna Recipe image

Provided by á-48473

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 (30 ounce) jar marinara sauce
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
12 lasagna noodles
1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese
12 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook the ground beef in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes; drain fat. Stir in the marinara sauce, water, and salt. Bring to a boil. Remove sauce from heat. Arrange 6 noodles in a 9x13-inch baking dish, breaking if necessary to fit. Spoon 1/2 of the sauce over noodles. Top with 1/2 of the cottage cheese and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers with remaining noodles, sauce, cottage cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Top with Parmesan cheese. Cover tightly with foil; refrigerate overnight. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake lasagna, covered, until noodles are soft, cheese is melted, and sauce is bubbly, about 1 hour. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the lasagna will be. Choose fresh vegetables, lean ground beef, and high-quality cheese.
  • Don't overcook the lasagna noodles: Al dente noodles will hold their shape and texture better in the lasagna.
  • Layer the lasagna properly: Start with a layer of sauce, then noodles, then cheese, and then repeat. This will ensure that the lasagna is evenly cooked and flavorful.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Use plenty of cheese in the lasagna, both between the layers and on top. This will make the lasagna rich and gooey.
  • Let the lasagna rest before cutting: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the lasagna to set properly. At least wait 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Overnight lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions. By following the tips above, you can make a lasagna that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give overnight lasagna a try.
