Chipotle Beef & Bechamel Lasagna

How is the holiday season going so far for you guys?

You know what’s really surprising?… In all of my crazy cooking days I’ve only made a few lasagnas ever. I really don’t know why because when I do whip up a pan of it (or in my ginormous family’s case, two) everyone loves it.

So as for this lasagna, it’s a pretty basic recipe except for the fact that I sub the typical ricotta with a cheese mixture/bechamel sauce of my own.

Mostly because ricotta is not something I keep on hand, but also because the kiddos don’t like it as much with the ricotta. I also like to add the mild heat and awesome flavor of chipotles to the mix. You can add heat to your own personal taste if you like it hotter but I try to keep it pretty light on spice so that the heat-wimps (that group includes me most of the time) will eat it too.

The creamy bechamel sauce with the chipotle makes it so good. I’d definitely vote this a must try!
