• 1 tablespoon Kraft Quick Melt cheese
• 2 tablespoons spreadable cheese (such as Procis)
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Oregano (optional)

Beef Sauce

• 100 grams ground beef
• 2 small onions, finely chopped
• 1 packet of La Fonte Bolognese instant sauce
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the Lasagna Sheets:

   • In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add vegetable oil and salt.
   • Cook the lasagna sheets in the boiling water until al dente, following the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Make the Cheese Sauce:

   • In a saucepan, melt the butter or margarine over medium heat.
   • Add the flour and stir quickly to combine, cooking for a minute to form a roux.
   • Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
   • Cook until the mixture starts to thicken.
   • Stir in the grated Cheddar cheese, Kraft Quick Melt cheese, and spreadable cheese. Continue stirring until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.
   • Season with ground nutmeg and, if desired, a pinch of oregano. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Prepare the Beef Sauce:

   • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil if necessary.
   • Sauté the chopped onions until translucent.
   • Add the ground beef and cook until browned.
   • Stir in the La Fonte Bolognese instant sauce, ground nutmeg, and ground black pepper. Cook until the sauce is well combined and heated through. Set aside.

4. Assemble the Lasagna:

   • Prepare a steamer or a large pot with a steaming rack and bring water to a boil.
   • Lightly grease the aluminum foil cups with butter.
   • Begin layering in the following order: a sheet of lasagna pasta, followed by a layer of cheese sauce, and then a layer of beef sauce. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of beef sauce.
   • Top the final layer with grated Cheddar cheese, Kraft Quick Melt cheese, and a sprinkle of oregano if desired.

5. Steam the Lasagna:

   • Place the assembled lasagna cups into the steamer.
   • Steam over medium heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20-30 minutes.

6. Serve:

   • Carefully remove the lasagna from the steamer.
   • Serve hot with your favorite chili sauce or condiment.
