Passover Beef Lasagna

I’m super excited about Passover this year!  I cannot believe we have been Israel for a year now, and we have not had the privilege to celebrate holidays with our families. We all got vaccinated and we can celebrate Passover together! Covid-19 did amazing thing! It made us appreciated every moment with our families and friends.

So what’s the deal of  beef lasagna for Passover? – It’s easy to make, and it’s taste better from regular lasagna. How come? Because I don’t like lasagna sheets. And you know what ironic? I don’t like matzoh too. But matzoh, instead of lasagna sheets, in lasagna is Amazing!

Hope you will like it as I do 🙂
