Delicious Comfort Food - Meat Lasagna

By Mike Sasaki

Who doesn't love comfort food? Comfort food makes you feel great, but why? Maybe, it reminds you of your childhood and eating delicious meals with your family after an afternoon of playing with your friends.

What are Americans top comfort foods? Here is a list of the Top 25 Comfort Foods: Apple Pie, Baked Beans, Banana Pudding, Beef Stew, Brisket Pot Roast, Chicken & Dumplings, Chicken Pot Pie, Chicken Soup, Chili, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Corn on the Cob, Fried Chicken, Gelatin, Green Bean Casserole, Hot Dogs, Ice Cream, Macaroni & Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, Meatloaf, Potato Salad, Pumpkin Pie, Shepherd's Pie, Spaghetti, Tomato Soup, and Tuna Casserole.

Now, this list contains a lot of comfort foods that I love, the list also has some foods that I'd never eat, but it is a good list of comfort foods. My favorite comfort food that seems to be missing is: Meat Lasagna. I don't know anybody that hates a good meat lasagna. The ingredients are so delicious individually and when combined in a meat lasagna, it's the ultimate comfort food.

Served with a slice of garlic bread and a nice bottle of wine, you'll be full and happy in no time. You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey and you can add more cheese or less depending on what you prefer. You can also add red pepper flakes to give your meat lasagna a nice kick.

The great thing about lasagnas is that you can eat it for lunch the next day and even dinner if you desire and it seems to just get better because the lasagna squares come together and the ingredients combine nicely.

If you are short on time, it is surprisingly easy and quick to make and it looks like you've been in the kitchen for hours. Also, with 1 large meat lasagna you can feed a family of 6, easily. And you'll have plenty to spare for the next day.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your ingredients and get in the kitchen, immediately!
