I’ve been making this same recipe in the oven for decades but adapted it for the Instant Pot. Give it try and let me know what you think!
Flo Lum “decades”. Pfft. You’re too young to have been cooking lasagna for decades
I saw a cooking tip on another CZcams video, that if you wad up your parchment paper into a tight little ball, it's easier to get a nice fit when you push it into the pan. Thanks for the video!
I love lasagne so much and have been making it for years but I have to try it in the instant pot thank you.
Yes to this recipe Flo! When my kids were younger, and even now, they would not eat lasagna because they hated ricotta cheese, and don't even try to use cottage cheese as a sub cause they didn't like that either. I found this same recipe (the meat sauce might be different) in a Rachael Ray magazine years ago and this is what I use always to make lasagna. They all love it. I don't make lasagna very often but now I want some! The last time we made this was about a year ago at a campsite where my hubby and son were camping. My hubby is in to cast iron cooking and we made it in a cast iron dutch oven over the fire. It was so good! Thanks for the recipe!
In my never ending quest to support The Dude, I suggest he get the t-shirt that says “Body By Bacon.” It has a cute little picture of a smiling slice of bacon.
I have noticed that in this video and in others that you put the lid on the Instant Pot, close it, then you put the steam release knob on. Then you are forced to put the knob in the sealing position. What a clever idea!
Ha! The reason why that happens is because the dang thing keeps falling off and scares the heck out of me every time! LOL!
Flo Lum Sorry that happens to you. However, I’m going to do it on purpose. 😀
Sauce blanche is just made with butter, flour, milk. Béchamel is the same thing but with cheese, usually Gruyère added. Great video!
Great way to make the lasagna in the instant pot! It is something that I will have to try! Love all your idea's great touch!
Thanks for the lasagna tips. Will try as soon as I get a pot to fit the lasagna. Have you ever considered doing a video recommending the pot in pots and accessories you use?
I really only use what I have. This was probably the only pan I purchased specifically to fit in the IP for cheesecake. 😉 Most of the items I use can be found in my Amazon shop. Link is in the description. Thanks!
The white sauce is typically used in northern Italy.
I love your video’s! You’re a great teacher! Thanks!
Great video Flo. I can’t wait to try and make this in my new Instant Pot. First, I have to get a smaller pan to fit in my 6qt. I’m definitely going to keep your recipe handy. Thanks for sharing. 😊❤️
Thank you for this video! Sharing is caring!

Wow! ❤️
Going to add this one to my must try list. Thanks. Really enjoy your videos.
“Simple, Ordinary, Joyful... & Bacon.” New apron idea - no need to thank me. Just send an apron. 😁
😂
I have always mixed my bechamel with the meat sauce since I stared making lasagna years ago but either way I would never make lasagna without the bechamel. I will have to try making lasagna in the Instant Pot. Thanks for showing us how.
Flo, looks really yummy, great job!
I commented on the video you guys did about Depression. And I realized it really wasn’t a stretch considering you both are doing videos about cooking with a pressure cooker. lol great stuff.
Flo, is such an appropriate name, because that’s what I get from the videos you and the Dude make. The welcoming homie energy of joyful ness and inclusiveness just Flo’s effortlessly. I love to cook, so I watch a lot of videos, and although they are very well done, they are kinda of shticky over produced and I feel no connection to the person doing the video. If I wanted that. I would just watch the Food Network.
You’re videos are about real people with real lives and concerns, who clearly love each other, joyfully cooking real food with an actual thought. Thank you both. Nick.
Yummy! I’m going to try this. My husband and I dislike Ricotta cheese that is usually in lasagna so we don’t make it. Now I will use this white sauce instead! Thanks Flo!
Never to much moz cheese. You could use a butane torch like you use on creme brulee.
My longtime Italian friend taught me the béchamel sauce, a real game changer!
I recently found you and your hubby, LOVE how relaxed and happy you two are together!
Makes for enjoyable and easy to follow vlogs!
I totally signed up for the apron! I lost most of mine in hurricane Harvey .
I love Aprons! Trait I learned from my grandma!
Take care and God bless you and your family!
Adding this to my recipe box, one can never have too many lasagna recipes. ;-)
Anything with bacon makes it a gold standard--looks yummy!
Whenever I make bolognese sauce, most of it ends up as lasagne a few days later (I'm a single guy cooking only for myself). I melt 3/4 of the cheese into the bechamel sauce which thickens it up and makes it easier to layer. I love this silicon lid thing, I have never seen that before. I must get one. But ultimately, I think I'll stick with making the lasagne in my convection microwave because I too would miss the crunchy brown cheesy top (made with the last 1/4 of the cheese) and the crispy edge bits. I end up with 3 or 4 serves of lasagne in freezer bags and they last for months!
Hi Flo! I signed up for your newsletter! YAY! Amazon has a few pot in pot thingies for the pressure cooker so you wouldn't have to cut your recipe in half if you didn't want to. I think one of the brand names is Ekovana. I've not bought mine yet but its on my list. I have 2 pressure cookers now! YAY ME.
Yum! Could you still add spinach to it too. Love the videos. Can’t wait for the next video
Sure can, however, I would blanch the spinach and squeeze out the water. Otherwise you may get a soggy lasagna as spinach holds a lot of water.
Ooohhh I love the idea of using white sauce. I don’t like ricotta cheese and feels like it doesn’t taste like anything.
Thanks Flo and Hubby!
Looks DELICIOUS
If you screw up your parchment paper (baking paper in Australia) it makes it a lot easier to line your baking pan.
Are you planning on getting the Instant Pot Max when it comes out? Would love to hear your thoughts
Nope. I have enough pots! 😉
My husband would agree with you about the bacon 😆And he kinda looks like you too!
🤣
Dude - time to get cozy with a mini torch. Brown it yourself. 👍👍👍👍
BACON! Dude is right. But I'm sure your recipe is perfect, Flo!
Yummy I gotta try this in my IP!
Thanks. Now I’m hungry. Lol
To be honest, the Ricotta Cheese recipes did irritate me. I do mine with bechamel too, but we've got Italians and Greeks in our family. ^^ thanks for the video, I will give the pressure cooker lasagna a try. The silicone lid is a good idea, always used foil for my cheesecakes so far. :)
My fiance said, the lasagna was like from a restaurant. He never had a better one. I bet it was the bacon, that's the only thing I added to my standard recipe for Bolognese. :)
You can never have too much bacon
Do you have MAN aprons available? My wife doesn't cook..lol
Love the instant pot recipes my #1 used gadget. Cheers!
What... you don’t like the scripty writing? 😉
Hey Flo, would fresh lasagna sheets be too delicate for the instant pot? I have the idea to use those so that I could cut the sheets into the exact shape as the inserted pot but don't know if it'll just end up turning to mush.
I think that would work. Maybe cut down the cook time though. How long would you normally cook them in the oven? I would probably cut it down by half.
I make mine with fresh sheets and typically go 40-45 minutes at 375F uncovered in the oven. Pasta stays al dente.
hey Flo can you use a metal lid or plastic id you don't have one of those silicone thingis
I wouldn’t use plastic. Maybe just use a piece of foil.
Flo, Dude, I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and use my InstantPot and Joule sous-video circulator regularly. Why no Patreon page? We need to support good content and I have too many aprons already!
Thanks for the encouragement, Mike! We tried Patreon for several months and we decided to shut it down for now. We may revisit at a later time.
Sounds amazing!
More BACON!!!!
What can I use instead of the silicone lid?
Foil?
@@FloLum how about the glass lid that comes with the instant pot?
doh! it doesnt fit right!
Yeah for bacon!! 🤩
The Bacon Nation 🥓 has spoken
Do you pull the Lasagna out of the pot and then cut it into servings?
I did here but you should wait for it to cool down some beforehand as it’ll spread out all over. You can just serve it out of the pan.
Bacon is life.
More Sous Vide recipes please.
I don't have a manual button on my Instant Pot, do I just use the Pressure Cooker button?
I believe so. They keep changing the name. 🙄
Flo Lum Thanks, that's what thought. By the way, I love your videos!! I'm learning so much.
yes yes more bacon please!
Did you used high or medium pressure. Thanks
My recipes are almost always high. And the Instant Pot only has high or low pressure.
When would more bacon EVER be a bad option???????? :-)
More bacon please
If god didn’t want us to eat animals, he wouldn’t have made bacon.
Licking my lips😋😋😋😋😋
Totally didn't read the title as: "Easy Lasagna with Bologna and Bechamel."
