This is what I used:
Red sauce-
3 onions
3tsp garlic
loads of mushrooms
2 tins of tomatoes
6 tbsp tomato purée
750g lean steak mince
Healthy dose of pepper
White sauce-
2 eggs
1 tub of quark
Pinch nutmeg
Pepper
This was enough to make 3 lots of 2 portion lasagne. Yum!!
Optional topping: 3 x 30g Finely grated cheese (6 syns / 1 x HeA per lasagne)
After I built the lasagnes I laid some cling film across the top and poked it down the sides. This will help stop oxygen getting in making freezer burn attacking the yummy yummy lasagne!!
It's hard to see but its there! It also stops the White sauce going ALL over the lid. Once your ready to defrost it for cooking the cling film will peel away easily leaving the cheesy topping where it should be! (Look at all that cheese!! Grating it finely gives you LOADS for the 30g!!!)
So - that's 3 lasagnes made and in the freezer. My hubby squealed with delight at the thought! (It's his all time favourite dinner!!)
My little collection of frozen dinners!! There's a chilli, a beef casserole and a chicken casserole in there! The slow cooker freezer meals have been working AWESOMELY!!! It's cut our shopping bill by loads!
I have made a discovery... By learning the hard way.... Freezing the meals flat is fab for storage but rubbish for thawing!
I had to keep them in the bag til they thawed as it didn't fit in the cooker!! then it all got messy pouring it out with all the juices and raw meat!
I did the chicken casseroles squished down in the bottom of the bags and it fits in the slow cooker perfect!
Just me being lazy but it means I can dump it out of the bag the night before and let it defrost in the slow cooker - then literally all I have to do is turn it on in the morning - no touching raw food, Or slopping defrosted juices all over my work clothes at 7 am!! Yay for laziness!!!
Ooooo - cooking the frozen lasagnes... Defrost them FULLY then cook for 45-60 mins in a preheated oven at gas mark 6.
Enjoy!!
