 first step in the lasagna is going to be we've got to bring this pot of water water water to boil we're browning the hamburger I'm browning it slow and then we'll we'll put we'll put the sauce in a pan and then we'll put the hamburger in but right now a lot of people like cream cheese and cottage cheese in there lasagna so I'm going to put it in this because monkey said she likes it so we're going to do that right now there's the cheese the mozzarella we've got two pounds of mozzarella cheese there that is going to go in and on this lasagna so first let's open this up I'm making a huge lasagna won't be as big as I used to make I used to make them with the pan and I used to have to use a big you know stainless steel pan which we just got one of these cheap things at the at the Dollar Tree for a buck because it's all we're going to need no I force you just throw it away when you're done but I used to make them everyone would weigh between 30 and 32 pounds but we're not way that much but we will weigh it okay so we're going to use all of this okay this is the cottage cheese cream cheese now you like I said you can make this when everyone I just get you know just you can get the cheap stuff I mean you're not going to tell a difference people say oh I can tell you ain't going to tell a difference in the how cheap it is when it when it's mixed in with stuff you know so I'm going to use about a fourth of it probably use all that we'll just have to see all right and then just mix it up really well and this is going to get put in with the layers so this is small curved cottage cheese well like I said you can use anything you want and of course we bought the cheap cottage cheese well that cheap that's 2.99 for that or two for four bucks but this was a dollar 99 and it is 14 ounces and I don't know what this is anyway so we got this mixed up let's take a little taste and see oh my yeah now you can use ricotta you can use whatever damn cheese you guys want everybody says you're happy with my brother no you don't if you want a great American cheese put American cheese in there if you want to do the Mexican mix which I have done before it's very good too so now once once the water gets boiled I got two boxes of these they're they're 12 ounce they're not the one pound boxes but they were only a dollar I got these at the dollar tree so I'll probably end up using a box in half I usually have some noodles left over and a little bit of sauce and when I do I just mix it up and I make like a big giant little thing of spaghetti but with the noodles and um you know have for snacks and whatnot or sometimes I'll freeze it and have it later but so that's what we're going to do for now so we've got to wait for the water to boil so I can get these in there I'm not going to bother you with these I'm going to wait until these are cooked and then we'll get to putting it in the pan now I'm going to have mushrooms with ours which you know a lot of people don't like but that's a good thing about cooking at home guys you can make however you want you put whatever season you want on it and it's just you know you use your imagination try different stuff and put onions green onions you can put scallops you can um you know put shrimp in it you know shrimp and crab you know put one layer shrimp one layer crab one layer shrimp whatever you want you know I've made it a hundred different ways but this is just a standard just a real quick you know something for you know an idea for supper um you know once everything's cooked it only has to be any oven for 30 minutes I mean really because everything's cooked all you really got to do is melt the cheese so it doesn't take that long about an hour start to finish you know depending on how long the water takes to boil now I've got a big pot of water on because I'm using two boxes of these where only one box usually does you know a family of four just fine but you know we're going to eat on this for a couple days so that's going to be good and it's got this this was at the Dollar Tree as well now that's not going to be enough of course but I also have this I'm going to mix those two together again I mean if you can I mean if you got that much soft where you can really taste whether it's cheap or not well then you know to me that's too much soft but again however you want so that's what we're going to do with that and uh so soon the water boils soon as I get these cooked I'll be back with you sticking so you don't have to be surprised what you do but just like that you don't have to be perfect guys but you can make the top one look perfect but you ain't going to see this any layer except the top so if you want to make the top look perfect cool but and here's our cottage cheese that we mixed up with the sour cream or this on here you can put as much or as as little as you want on it but but then again I don't want it to work uh all your taste in this sauce I mean we went somewhere and we had I forget where it was and we had the lasagna and it was just it was nothing but sauce and it was like man even oh yeah that was down there in uh Mount Dora we both had the lasagna and even the the waitress said man that's that's a lot of sauce on there you know and we're like yeah I mean just just too much you know what I'm saying all we could taste was the sauce you know and then she just dab a little bit here and there now you can spread it out if you want to it doesn't matter because once that heats up it'll kind of spread itself out but you know if you want you can you can mix it up I have even mixed it in with the sauce before and that works just as good so there's that put some cheese on here see we got two pounds of cheese here and don't skimp on the cheese guys it being cheesy and then uh also you know you can put pepperonis in between there you can use sausages you know um put sausage on it what whatever you want to do but this all we're going to do now I'm going to go ahead and layer this up to the top and then I'll be right back with you because we're going to weigh it it's like the old days as you see that 32 pound 0.6 so I'm going to get it covered and get it put in the oven at about 30 minutes and I'll check the internal temperature I want it to be about a 170 ish so set timer for 30 minutes and there you go guys it's all ready to go we just got to let it rest let it rest about 20 minutes because it's it's pretty good size yours you know if you're making a 10-12 pounder you know uh maybe 10-15 minutes I like to that mine rest pretty good so there it is guys everything's homemade store-bought homemade of course I didn't make the noodles I didn't make the sauce I didn't kill the cow but you know it's not frozen it's fresh and it's ready to eat now I'm not going to show us taste testing it because I know it's going to be great you guys know it's going to be great I mean it's not burnt so it's going to be fine so that's that's what we put in ours pretty easy I totaled it up it was right around 15 bucks to make it and and there'll be two or three nights here and uh for us to eat on or we can freeze some of it and have it later so there you go guys I want to say thanks for watching I appreciate it Shae Bear the met the man the legend I'm gone for now and thanks for watching chef Shae Bear I appreciate it guys check out monkey one thousand two we'll see you soon bye bye
