I made this recipe tonight for the in-laws. My mother-in-law LOVED it, my father-in-law ate 3 portions. When she asked for the recipe, it cross my mind to lie and say it was mine. But I gave Credit to you. She wouldn’t believe I came up with the recipe anyway. 😂
I dont make it often but I use Italian sausage in mine instead of ground beef. So yummmmmmmy. Think I can smell yours. Lol. Looks delish Kaleb. Yum yum
This Midwest lasagna really brought back memories for me. Growing up in Michigan, my mom always made lasagna like this with cottage cheese. LOL. I never even tasted Ricotta until I married my Italian husband. Needless to say, he was horrified by the cottage cheese lasagna. Now I’m obsessed with ricotta. No more cottage cheese in my lasagna. Haha
I’m now in the mood for lasagna. Also, I tried your fig puff pastry with blue cheese and onions and it was a total hit. I made it for Super Bowl and it was different and delicious! Thanks.
First of all, i already adore KIP the Frenchie!! ❤. Second, I'm so glad you use healthy natural ingredients. The Midwest knows good meat and cheese. Hardy wholesomeness. No CA vegan or no dairy weird stuff!! I escaped CA. I live in a better place now, although i miss the Coast!!!! The Beach!! I'm very grateful for you and your channel. So easy to follow and make! Cheers 🥂. It's just a yes! Love your style!!
Can’t wait to try this Lasagna recipe! FYI! Your pastry creme is my “Go-To”. It never fails to completely set up for everything I make! Perfect for filling Eclairs, and Napoleons!
I made your chicken pot pie last night, with mashed potato and cheese on top, because that's how we do in NZ, but oml, even my most fussiest fuss pot who hates everything absolutely loved it! I took some to a friend in hospital as well, they loved it! But there's none left now because we all finished it off for brunch today!
I've never added egg to my ricotta cheese before. I just heated it up a little to make it soft to spread it out. I also layer it differently. I'll have to try this recipe. Also, I'll be adding oregano and marjoram to my sauce as well. I also make homemade garlic bread or garlic knots to eat with it.
Appreciate your demo! I se half ground beef and half Italian mild ground sausage. IF my store is out of riccota, I'll substitute small curd cottage cheese, drained of its liquid, then I mash or whisk it up to break up the clumps, go ahead with the egg, parmesan cheese, and add just a little bread crumbs to give the cheese layer some body. I think there are 100 ways to make lasagna!
A couple of things I do with lasagna is alternate the noodles long way, short way. I find it gives it more structure. I also use mini bread pans, line them with plastic wrap and build in there. I pull the extra wrap over the top tightly and freeze in the pan. The next day when it is solid, I pull it out of the pan and shrink wrap it. A quick meal for one or more, pull one or more out, unwrap it and put it in the mini loaf pan while still frozen and let it thaw. Throw it in the oven and dinner is ready! Love your videos, Kaleb!
Looks delicious! And so simple. Love your dog's cameo too. Would love to see a white lasagna if your family has a recipe for that as well! Thx for sharing!!
Have you ever tried dehydrating tomatoes until there’s no moisture left, then grind them to powder. When you need tomato paste add water to make your tomato paste. It’s the richest paste, adds a ton of flavor. After trying it a couple of years ago I now grow extra tomatoes just to grind for paste.
Omg Kaleb I just finished French onion soup and I could still eat a piece of that lasagna! It’s been a while since I made lasagna. Guess it’s time to make one.
You are so relaxing to watch cooking lol I'm going to try your recipe the next time I make lasagne. The last time I made it, the recipe I followed was way under seasoned and I couldn't fix it so it was like tomato sauce from a can. Moving on though🙃
My 'Grandmother used to do the same thing with spaghetti, hamburgers, and other foods she made. When I got there, she always offered me something good to eat! Yummy! I miss her so much!
I made the lasagna tonight for dinner and both my husband and I enjoyed it a lot. I am going to freeze leftovers for later. Thanks for the recipe. Peggy 👩🍳
I love watching you (and your Mom), love your decorating videos, love that you make "Mid-West lasagna!" Thank you for all of your videos, I've not been a commenter but I'll try to do that now.. Merry Christmas to you Kaleb and to yours!
WOW! I have NEVER MADE REAL lasagna before! My mom always made the "all day" lasagna. So she would have kicked us out of the kitchen before it was all done🤣 This came out AMAZING! THANKS 😊 ❤️
Thank you. I've been looking for a good americanized lasagna for a while. I've made the traditional italian one that Alex French guy cooking my family loves it but its takes all day. I have a great seafood one that I make for holidays. Your red sauce is so simple to makr but so beautiful to taste.
Are all dried spices the same are some companies better then others? How long should you keep them for? More information on herbs and spices would be helpful.
Reminds me of growing up and asking for my mom to cook her lasagna for my birthday. The only thing I didn't like about it was she put green bell peppers in it. That woman put green bell peppers in everything. It was almost dinner wasn't complete unless it had green bell peppers in it. I now HATE green bell peppers but I would gladly eat them all if it meant I could have her back.
No Sugar, you use sausage, not burger, hehehehehe, you'll never go back, looks fab! I'm sure you enjoyed it, stay warm, cause these below temps are being disrespectful weather wise.
Oh kaleb. I love you, but really. Leave the italian food to the italians. Noodles? Really? You want flavor? I got flavor. Here are a few tips. SAUCE 1. Swirch out italian sausage meat for the ground beef. Brown it with the onions and put it aside. 2. Drain all but 2-3 tablesplons of the rendered fat. Cool the rest down. 3. Add your dried herbs to the oil. Poach them over very low heat for ten minutes. They are bloomed and ready when you smell them. 4. To this mix, add 3 anchovy folets and mash them into the herbs. Turn up the heat to medium. Cook until the anchovies melt. 5. Add your tomato paste and caramelize it. 6. Cook your lasagna pasta in *salted* water Toward the end, add about a cup of the pasta water to the tomato paste mixture. Stir and cook until a beautiful sauce forms. 7. Add back your meat and stir until combined and heated through. CHEESE 1. Never ever mention "cottage cheese" and "lasagna" in the same sentence ever again. 2. Place your ricotta in a strainer and bowl and let it drain for about a half hour. Your cheese will set firmer xand the lasagna will be a lot less runny. Then mix the eggs and other ingredients. PASTA 1. It's *pasta*. You're not making noodles and beef...lol 2. Your pasta is way overcooked. You must remember that it will continue to cook in the ovencook the pasta until about 2 minutes before the box rrcommends...extra al dente. Then it will absorb the sauce as it finishes cooking and transfer extra flavor into the pasta. Those oven ready lasagne are an abomination. They cook up like moosh. Yuck. Leave some of the top layer pasta edges uncovered for baking. The crispy edges are delightful. Buon appetito...
Question: when you use cottage cheese do you still use the eggs? I love cottage cheese but the thought of mixing 🥚 eggs...ugh. BTW: I love watching your video's you remind me of my nephew who lives in Florida he just as sweet as you are. 🥰

I love how you are in the kitchen cooking in your house shoes, lol
Okay, now I'm hungry for lasagna.
Looks wonderful. I'll definitely put it on our menu for next week.
I dont make it often but I use Italian sausage in mine instead of ground beef. So yummmmmmmy. Think I can smell yours. Lol. Looks delish Kaleb. Yum yum

Ricotta was not always easy to find in Midwest grocery stores.

Kip is absolutely adorable ♥️♥️♥️

I LOVE lasagna😋❤😍🤗!
I used the oven ready. I use the pasta sauce to cook the pasta
What a sweetheart you are. Thank you for these meals.
Great video Kaleb! A trick my mom taught me: It helps if you spread out the cooked noodles on kitchen towels to keep them from sticking together.
Plus put little oil in the cooking water
I don't cook my Cook Noddles just add extra sauce in each layer for them to absorb.
Can't tell the difference. Perfect every time.
Can’t wait to try this Lasagna recipe!

Looks DELICIOUS. I would like more pasta layers.

Excellent video excellent recipe excellent done!!! Your just fun to watch it’s really beautiful

Love to watch you talking about anything

Definitely a midwest lasagna. My grandmas was pretty much the same. Very delicious! Its freezing here in Kansas. I will be making this tomorrow.

Dinner this week
So relaxing to watch you! Looks yummy! Dinner this week 😊
I made this recipe last year for thanksgiving and I will make it again this year! 🤗
Made this meat sauce. Just delicious. Best sauce I have ever made THANK YOU.
Its going to be delicious but you are right that this needs to be done on Sunday afternoon and frozen/ thrown in the oven when you get home.
Who decorated your kitchen? It's lovely!
Fyi no bake noodles do NOT freeze well! But this recipe looks amazing!😍
You are so relaxing to watch cooking lol I'm going to try your recipe the next time I make lasagne. The last time I made it, the recipe I followed was way under seasoned and I couldn't fix it so it was like tomato sauce from a can. Moving on though🙃
My mom made lasagna similar to your recipe. Norwegian Oregonian. Kip sighting.
I am new and I love baking and cooking so each time I am hungry I am going to your videos
Love this recipe! I've been watching your videos since October.
Looks like heaven! I canned up 36 quarts of grape juice using your recipe. It’s fantastic!! Thanks so much from just over the River in Wisconsin.
This looks amazing!!! I need to make this
WOW,CANT WAIT TO TRY,THANKS KALEB☮️‼️🆒🆒❤️‼️
Looks easy....and delicious. Would be good with salad and garlic bread. :)
You are so good with this. Love to watch you. Thanks!
My 'Grandmother used to do the same thing with spaghetti, hamburgers, and other foods she made. When I got there, she always offered me something good to eat! Yummy! I miss her so much!
Putting made foods in the freezer is what I am speaking of above.
I made the lasagna tonight for dinner and both my husband and I enjoyed it a lot. I am going to freeze leftovers for later. Thanks for the recipe. Peggy 👩🍳
This dude is excited!!
Lasagna one of my all time favorites! 💚👌💙
I love watching you (and your Mom), love your decorating videos, love that you make "Mid-West lasagna!" Thank you for all of your videos, I've not been a commenter but I'll try to do that now.. Merry Christmas to you Kaleb and to yours!
I have to make a lasagna this weekend❣️ I love that big blue bottle behind you. Is it decorative or used for something? I’d be putting change in it, 🤣
That looked great
Such a honey ! Thanks
WOW! I have NEVER MADE REAL lasagna before! My mom always made the "all day" lasagna. So she would have kicked us out of the kitchen before it was all done🤣 This came out AMAZING! THANKS 😊 ❤️
looks tasty!
I just found you! You’re such a Cutie! Thank you!
Hi Kaleb! I’m a big fan of yours! I’m curious about the meat you use, is that brand something I can buy or do you get it locally?
Thank you. I've been looking for a good americanized lasagna for a while. I've made the traditional italian one that Alex French guy cooking my family loves it but its takes all day. I have a great seafood one that I make for holidays. Your red sauce is so simple to makr but so beautiful to taste.
Looks amazing! :-) You are so cute, LOL you said the "basil" but earlier you said " dried Oragano! And I can`t spell, sorry. LOL.
Love it going to make it
Are all dried spices the same are some companies better then others? How long should you keep them for? More information on herbs and spices would be helpful.
Your awesome Kaleb 👍👍
From New England, lasagna without sausage??? That would probably not happen around here.
But it does look delicious 😋.
Love your videos!!!
Love this video!!
Do you make Moussaka? YUM! :-) I bet you have the best recipe for this! :-)
I think I’m going to try this one 😋
If you're someone who doesn't like when the noodles go crunchy on the edges when you bake lasagna, how do you avoid that?
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Love you kaleb we got big game to watch it
Yummy
You are a delight to watch More cheese PLease... Ha Ha,, Granny
Yum!
Looks very delicious, thank you 😊
Simply Perfect 👌
Your lasagna looks really good. Quite similar to what I make, also Midwest! I love your stove. What brand is it?
His stove is WOLF
So fun and great tips!
Looks yummy!
Great recipe love from u.k.
AE cottage cheese is thee best!

We always have lasagna on Christmas Eve. The past few years my mom wasn’t going to make it! Obviously we still do🤔😂
Yummy!
I made this yesterday and did two 8×8s froze the other one, as a mom of 3 I need all the help I can get in the way of meal prep
Ummm, imma need this in my life.
❤️❤️❤️
My mouth is watering :)
Reminds me of growing up and asking for my mom to cook her lasagna for my birthday. The only thing I didn't like about it was she put green bell peppers in it. That woman put green bell peppers in everything. It was almost dinner wasn't complete unless it had green bell peppers in it. I now HATE green bell peppers but I would gladly eat them all if it meant I could have her back.
is there a recipe for the sauce
The meat is so red! Does it have a ratio?
No Sugar, you use sausage, not burger, hehehehehe, you'll never go back, looks fab! I'm sure you enjoyed it, stay warm, cause these below temps are being disrespectful weather wise.
It's winter it's supposed to be cold
@@natalieeubank4533 WOW, HUMOR
Where in Iowa are you located? I live in Waukee!
Delish ! 🤤
I put my noodles in the same way. Less sticking.
Why do we put egg in the ricotta cheese? It stays together without the egg!?
Just a word... if you substituted Liquid Aminos for your salt, you would get a more robust flavor. Liquid Aminos have some salt, but not alot..
How do you warm up your Lasagna. Garlic bread recipe/demonstration please.
Oh kaleb. I love you, but really. Leave the italian food to the italians. Noodles? Really?
You want flavor? I got flavor. Here are a few tips.
SAUCE
1. Swirch out italian sausage meat for the ground beef. Brown it with the onions and put it aside.
2. Drain all but 2-3 tablesplons of the rendered fat. Cool the rest down.
3. Add your dried herbs to the oil. Poach them over very low heat for ten minutes. They are bloomed and ready when you smell them.
4. To this mix, add 3 anchovy folets and mash them into the herbs. Turn up the heat to medium. Cook until the anchovies melt.
5. Add your tomato paste and caramelize it.
6. Cook your lasagna pasta in *salted* water Toward the end, add about a cup of the pasta water to the tomato paste mixture. Stir and cook until a beautiful sauce forms.
7. Add back your meat and stir until combined and heated through.
CHEESE
1. Never ever mention "cottage cheese" and "lasagna" in the same sentence ever again.
2. Place your ricotta in a strainer and bowl and let it drain for about a half hour. Your cheese will set firmer xand the lasagna will be a lot less runny. Then mix the eggs and other ingredients.
PASTA
1. It's *pasta*. You're not making noodles and beef...lol
2. Your pasta is way overcooked. You must remember that it will continue to cook in the ovencook the pasta until about 2 minutes before the box rrcommends...extra al dente. Then it will absorb the sauce as it finishes cooking and transfer extra flavor into the pasta.
Those oven ready lasagne are an abomination. They cook up like moosh. Yuck.
Leave some of the top layer pasta edges uncovered for baking. The crispy edges are delightful.
Buon appetito...
Why no oregano!??? That's a main Italian seasoning....
Question: when you use cottage cheese do you still use the eggs? I love cottage cheese but the thought of mixing 🥚 eggs...ugh.
BTW: I love watching your video's you remind me of my nephew who lives in Florida he just as sweet as you are. 🥰
