Foodies are going wild for a mother’s 25kg lasagne, which cost her $120 to make and boasts ’63 big-sized servings’.
Posting on Facebook, the woman shared her recipe for the huge lasagne she made using ingredients purchased from the budget supermarket Aldi – and it swiftly sent social media into overdrive.
’25 kilograms of lasagne! All ingredients from Aldi,’ the woman posted online.
‘I buy in bulk and cook in bulk, then freeze! This baby made about 63 big-sized servings.’

The thrifty mum said that while you might expect such a mammoth meal to contain hundreds of dollars worth of meat, in fact the lasagne only has 2kg of mince in it.
One kilogram of this is chicken mince and the other is beef.
‘All the rest vegetables… everyone vows it’s the best lasagne they have ever tasted,’ the woman said.
Revealing her recipe, the woman said that she ‘pretty much just gets every vegetable I can from Aldi’ and then cubes them using the food processor.
On top of this, she purchases plenty of Italian herbs and tomatoes, which she then boils down with the mince, and then adds a ‘few vegetable stock cubes’.
‘Then [I use] butter with flour to make roux and add the milk and cheese for the white sauce. A lot of white sauce!,’ she said.
The final move is to layer the ingredients together – and she said she always has ingredients left over.
People online were hugely impressed with the mother’s efforts, writing comments like ’25kgs! That weighs more than both of my children’ and ‘looks fab’ (pictured: her lasagne)

Not everyone was taken with the idea of the bulk cook up, however, as some questioned how many portions she got from her dish.
‘A 25kg lasagne cut into 63 serves is 396g a serve,’ one person wrote.
‘That’s a similar size to some frozen lasagne single serves. They are just going to be tall thin serves instead of low and wide serves.’
