Directions
The first thing you need to do for this cheap lasagne recipe is to pre-heat the oven to a temperature of 180 degrees C (360 degrees F).

Next, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and cook the peeled and chopped onion for roughly 5 minutes, now add the mince and fry for 5 minutes until it browns.

When you have done this stir in 1 tablespoon of chili powder and add the contents of the tomato and chili jar, season and simmer for 20 minutes.

Whilst you are waiting for the mince to cook make the white sauce by melting 20 g butter in a sucepan and stir in 30g plain white flour and cook for 1 minute, remove from the hob and gradually whisk in 500ml semi-skimmed milk until the mixture becomes nice and smooth. Return the pan to the hob and bring to the boil, ensuring you continue to stir the mixture so that it stay smooth.

Now, remove the pan from the hob again, season with salt and pepper and stir in 20g of grated cheddar cheese until it melts.

When you have done this place half the mince into a baking dish and cover with three sheets of lasagne. Now, pour the white sauce on top and place the rest of the mince on top of this; finally finish by placing three more sheets of lasagne on top and pour the remainder of the white sauce over it.

Finally top with the rest of the cheddar cheese and cook for 3 minutes in the pre-heated oven until bubbling and golden brown. While you're waiting for the lasagne to cook steam the chopped courgettes and serve with the lasagne.
