I'd say the $80 and $8 posters are both off by a bit . I also now realize that a pan of lasagna is more expensive than I realized.

One lb of ground beef won't make a large tray. You need at least 50% more ingredients. ONE egg?
How many people are you feeding, four?

You are nuts. You think that people eat a quarter pound of beef in a lasagna serving? That could make lasagna for 12.

4oz isn't much, plus do you only make just enough Food?

You could triple, quadruple the meat and not come close to $80.

And that... wouldn't be a lasagna? You have to double everything to keep the ratio the same (this is a DUH but it seems to have somehow escaped you) which would bring the total up to $70, and that's without any herbs or spices or the fresh basil. So, you were wrong. It's cool to just admit it now. Thanks for doing the math to prove it.

She basically just proved our point.

I wonder how long it took her to compile those numbers and she ended up proving herself wrong

Also, I personally, and i am not the poster who originally posted about the $80 lasagna, but I only use bufalo mozzarella. If you want to use REAL parmesan, that is significantly more expensive than the fake American stuff (you could never buy it for $6) with all the accordant health benefits of being made in Parma Italy with centuries old techniques and grass fed cows. To me, it's 100% worth it to spend extra for the better taste, texture, and health.

You also didn't add in fresh basil, which I always add to my lasagnas.

Well, I grow my own tomatoes and basil so I would have homemade sauce (better than anything you can find at the store) in my el cheapo lasagna.

Nah, a couple homemade tomatoes and basil could never make up for the Kraft cheeze gunk you would have to buy to keep it $8. And the walmart beef you'd have to buy. Enjoy your pink slime.

I could buy my organic ground beef, cheese and tomatoes at Whole Foods - it would not be close to $80 unless I was purposely looking for ways to throw my money out the window.

So double the meat and add an egg for a whoppin' $8.90.

And you're not doubling up on the ricotta cheese, sauce, or anything else?



Man, there are some clueless cooks on this thread.

That's why their food tastes like crap.

If you follow the directions for Lasagna on the box of standard lasagna noodles, you will be able to make a fairly decent sized dish for not that much money. You could make two trays for way less than $80.

Have you ever made a standard lasagna before?

Yes we all knew and we all heard dear cousin.

OMG . Was this at their house or someone else's???

Our grandma's house.

Oh, no. Did grandma realize what they were doing?? How embarrassing.

Yup. We ALL did. Guess they didn't realize how well sound carries in an old house.

That is really awful. Poor Grandma!

She just served up more pie.

Curious how old you are?

Odd question, but 30.

Why are you young people making grandma do all the thanksgiving work?
Shouldn't you or your mommy be taking over?
Grandma is tired.
Heck you could make her a great grandma soon.

Who says we made her do all the work? Though it's hard to keep her out of the kitchen.
We were at her house because she insists we all come to her place, it makes her happy.
She's already a great-grandma.

That's sad

I think it's sweet that she still has the energy and desire to do that for her family. Maybe Grandma actually likes playing host.

I'm sure the family helps out with cooking/cleaning.

When they aren't f****** in a bedroom. I'm sure they help a ton.

Well, that is obviously not something that the other family members want happening in their houses either.

Can you imagine?

The rest of us were on our best behavior PP.
This cousin has always been "interesting" stolen from some of us. We all know to lock up the valuables when she comes. I guess we now have to be on hump watch too.
