Lasagna Pie
Allow me to introduce you to Lasagna Pie. You may already have most of the ingredients for this. Ingredients:
|
In blender, add diced tomatoes, garlic and wine. Blend 'til smooth.
Cook Ground Sausage and place in bowl after draining.
Add Shredded mozzarella cheese. I grated my own, and it melts really nice.
Dash of parsley.
Place meat cheese and sauce in bigger bowl, and combine.
Now put that on top of your cottage cheese in your pie plate.
Mix Bisquick, Milk and eggs, and pour into the plate over top the meat and cheese.
Should look about like this.
Sprinkle with Parsley or oregano.

Homemade Sloppy Joes
So, normally, I'm not a Sloppy Joes fan. Anyone mentions them, and all I can think is, what's on the side??...please say pasta!
However, this recipe makes me want to eat them every week.
Ingredients:
1 1/2lbs Ground beef
1/4 Onion, diced
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
3/4 Cup Ketchup
3/4 Cup Water
1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
1 Tsp. Chili Powder
1 Tsp. Dijon Mustard
1/2 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
2 Dashes of Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbsp. Tomato Paste
4 Dashes Tabasco Sauce
Salt and Pepper to taste
Butter
Rolls
Prep:
Brown ground beef till no longer pink. Drain most of fat and add onions and garlic. Cook for a few minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients. Stir and cover. Simmer for 10-15 Minutes.
In the meantime, butter rolls and toast on a frying pan.
Spoon Joes onto the rolls. This recipe is great, 'cause you most likely will have all the ingredients on hand. Enjoy!
