Rolled Beef Lasagna


My two sons enjoyed my previous Spinach Lasagna so much that they requested me making Lasagna again. Although I enjoyed it as much as the kids did, the idea of repeating the same menu is always not so appealing to me especially it was just a week gap. I didn't want to disappoint them and hence I decided to try a different filling this time. I was attracted to this recipe shared by KakFida but found that it is much more tedious than the earlier recipe as I need to cook the skin piece by piece and also need to cook the beef filling. A bit frustrating that mine turned up a flat lasagna instead of rolls....! I guess because I used a lot of sauce (we like our lasagna wet) hence the rolls were all gummed up. See the link below on how it supposed to look like.
