THE PERFECT LASAGNA

Steps:

• Chop the onion, garlic, mushrooms, bacon, olives and sun dried tomatoes before you start to cook.
• Cook the onions and garlic first.
• Add the beef and brown about half-way through.
• Add green pepper, mushroom, olives, sun-dried tomatoes and bacon.
• Add the stewed tomatoes. Cut them apart with the spatula or a knife as you add them.
• Add as much red wine and balsamic vinegar as you wish. (I think the secret of the lasagna is in the wine and vinegar though, so I add about 3 tablespoons and a 1/4 of a cup).
• Add salt, pepper, and oregano to taste.
• Let the sauce stew as long as needed (the longer the better).
• Meanwhile, heat the milk gently in a saucepan.
• Add the flour gradually, stirring constantly. Add the parmesan cheese to the sauce as well.
• When the white sauce is thicker than pancake mix (about 10 minutes), remove from heat.
• In an 8x8 or round lasagna dish, layer like this: meat layer, lasagna sheet, white sauce.
• Finish with a white sauce layer and cover with mozzarella cheese.
