Why won't it stick?

Then the gravy isn't thick enough.....

Oh, now I understand what she's saying.

[Marilyn. 340]

i think she said she drained the meat after cooking it...

and i always add the meat to my sauce and I never have any problems....

[JODO 2]

Yea I definitely drain the meat, but perhaps I need to add more sauce. The recipe I use does call for a cup of water,but I never follow that because I thought it would dilute the sauce giving me the exact same problem I am complaining about now.

[Fandango 1,440]

This is gravy out of a jar, yes?

[Nessa 23]

I'd use milk instead of water, but that's me.

Yeah, the way I'm readin it, it's too runny and going to the bottom?

Milk?

I've never had this problem, but I'm not familiar with the "oven ready" pasta that you're using. Does the oven ready pasta require water to be added before baking?

I blenderize my sauce..

Just a tip.. but i found putting the beef everything in a blender helps a lot with consistancy ..

It may not be very "authentic" but it also means i can put onions etc in without anyone complaining about "chunks"..

you don't need to add extra water , all you need to do is make sure you have enough sauce to cover the noodles....

The oven ready noodles are the shizzle

[Marilyn. 340]

it does sound like your sauce might be too runny....

[Krikit 1,166]

It's probably the sauce you're using. Try adding some tomato paste to thicken it up.

Well it's not runny,but it is like it is just drying up to a light coat on the noodles.

No.

Well then I think you're right about not adding water, I've never added water.

I think Lisa's right in that the sauce you're using must be too thin. I make my sauce with crushed tomatoes and paste. That seems to have a good consistency for the lasagna...
