  1. Um you’re suppose to use lean meat so it’s not too wet in the end for the same reason now you’re having to remove the fat. So many things incorrect here… red flag moving on

  2. That was an excellent recipe. I’ve never seen the noodles prepared, laid out, and then layered in the lasagna like that … I thought it was a very clever way of preparing the noodles to keep them from sticking together and to ensure you use them all in the most effective and efficient way possible. I learned something new … and have been preparing lasagna for years?! Lol So Thank you for sharing your recipe!! ❤️👍😊

  3. What the hell? Garlic and onion powder? For real? Why not just use real garlic and onion, makes all the difference

  4. If you’re using canned tomatoes always remove the basil. It’s been in that can for who knows how long and tends to be bitter. Replace with fresh basil or omit it

  5. When you said you were going to add the 'erbs, I was glad that 2 of the 6 ingredients you added actually turned out to be herbs.

  6. Thanks, I don't simmer my sauce for 1 hr tho, and I don't use that much cheese in a smaller baking dish.

  7. Thank you! You don’t know how this helped me with a childhood favorite I remember and at 46 am cooking. Your recipe blended my dad’s and it made it very tasty and helpful!

  8. The greatest can be used for a TON of things. Don't waste. There's common groups in every community that you can give or trade stuff with

  9. 1:02 I put the grease outside in a tub in my orchard & the magpies come & peck at it. I see their beak marks all through it from where they've been eating it.

  10. My favorite pasta dishes are ofcourse lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo, penne 4 cheese, cheese tortellini with chicken Curry, tuna pasta salad, shell pasta with (yogurt, garlic, minced beef & pinenuts), shell pasta & beef tomato soup with (garlic, dried mint & lemon), orzo & chicken pilaf…

  11. A little expensive beef choice for lasagna – in one breath you say it’s great but then say you drain it (It also doesn’t clog your pipes if you run hot water and you’re not dumping like a gallon of oil). Ps are you getting props from Costco??? I’m still giggling about the wagyu beef choice. Oi vey.
