Lasagna Recipe

Posted on February 10, 2009 by sheila| 10 Comments

Lasagna Recipe: Makes One 13×9 pan and a small casserole pan.

In a large pot, boil water. Add 1 box (approx. 16 noodles) lasagna noodles and cook about 15 minutes (til ‘not quite done’)

Brown and drain 3/4 lb. ground beef. Put in a bowl.
Add your favorite spaghetti sauce to beef. (not quite a 1 lb. jar)

mozzarella cheese (2 cup package/shredded)

In your pan(s) start by spreading a thin layer of leftover sauce from the jar into the bottom of the pan so the noodles don’t stick. Then layer: Noodles, meaty sauce, (sprinkle on) shredded mozzarella cheese (and repeat layers til you have 3-4)

Cover pans with foil and put in the oven on 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes….then, remove foil and continue to cook an additional 10 minutes. Serve. (IF you have meat sauce left, freeze it for adding to spaghetti sauce! And you can use ground turkey instead of maviefolle-361 beef.)

Awesome Cheesecake Recipe

Note, you must follow all directions or it won’t turn out right. (seriously, it won’t!) Okay, first all your ingredients need to be at or close to room temperature. So, set the ingredients out 30 minutes before making.

CRUST:
1 1/3 C. Graham Cracker Crumbs
6 Tablespoons melted butter
1/8 C. Flour
1/3 C. Sugar

In the bottom of a springform pan, mix all dry ingredients, then mix in butter. Press into bottom of pan.

FILLING:
Three 8 oz. packages Cream Cheese (don’t get low fat)
4 eggs
1 Cup + 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Mix cheese with sugar on medium speed. Add eggs ONE at a time (mix in well before adding next egg). Last, add vanilla. Mix 5 minutes at medium speed. Pour over crust. Bake 325 degrees for 50-55 minutes. (can leave in a minute or so more if middle is wobbly)

TOPPING:
16 oz. (1 pint) Sour cream (don’t get low fat)
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 Cup + 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar

Mix on medium speed for 5 minutes. Take cheesecake out of oven. Turn oven UP to 375 degrees. Spread topping over cheesecake. Return to oven 10 minutes. Let cool at least 1 1/2 hours before refrigerating. Can make 1-2 days before you need to serve it if stored in fridge covered.
