Ingredients

1 pound - ground beef
⅛ - Salt
⅛ - Black pepper
1 jar - tomato sauce
2 tablespoon - unsalted butter
2 tablespoon - all-purpose flour
2 cup - whole milk
8 - lasagna noodles
1 ½ cup - feta cheese
⅛ - Fresh basil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Season with salt and pepper.
Add tomato sauce to the cooked beef, stir well, and set aside.
In another pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and whisk to form a roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
Slowly pour in milk while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens into a Béchamel sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
To assemble the lasagna, start with a layer of meat sauce at the bottom of a baking dish.
Add a layer of cooked lasagna noodles, followed by a layer of Béchamel sauce, and a generous sprinkle of crumbled feta.
Repeat the layering process until ingredients are used up, finishing with meat sauce and more crumbled feta on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm.
