The bill for this wonderful feast? $22.49.
Yes, for lasagna.
Not steak, mind you, but lasagna.
The fruit salad was $4.99, italian bread $2.25, a pound of ground beef, package of shredded mozzarella, lasagna noodles, cottage cheese, and 2 jars of spaghetti sauce. I already had apples, so we didn't need to buy those.
Is it just me, or does that seem high for one home-cooked dinner?
Anyway, here are the fantastic recipes:
Thea Connie's apple crisp:
8 large apples, peeled and sliced
2 cups sugar
Nutmeg, vanilla, & cinnamon to taste
8 Tbsp. Water
1 cup margarine or butter
2 cups flour, sifted
Vanilla ice cream
Preheat oven to 350. Spread apples in a 13 x 9 inch pan. Sprinkle apples
with nutmeg, cinnamon and 1 cup sugar; add water over them. Cream
margarine and remaining sugar with beater until crumbly. Add flour and
mix well. Pat this mixture over apples and bake 40 – 45 minutes until
bubbly and golden. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy!
Okay, I know the picture doesn't look so good, and the pan might be older than I am, but that missing chunk? That's from the "tastes" before dinner. He served it with vanilla ice cream and it was awesome.Karen's lasagna:
Get a box of Barilla NO BOIL lasagna noodles. I LOVE that they were no boil - so easy!)2 bottles of Prego spag. sauce with Meatballs. (if you can't find that, get it with meat)
1 pound ground beef
1 small tub (not sure the size) of cottage cheese
1 egg
1 small bag of shredded mozzarella cheese
italian spices (just a mixture of stuff)
worcestershire sauce
So, just brown the ground beef, add spices and dash of worcestershire sauce...drain. In a bowl, mix the egg and cottage cheese. Start to layer the noodles in a 9x13 pan. Layer some sauce, beef, then noodles, then cottage cheese and more noodles, sauce. When you're done layering, pour sauce over the top and sprinkle on the shredded mozzarella cheese. Follow the directions on the Barilla box to bake.
He doesn't like the clean up, but he LOVES the eating. :-)(PLEASE ignore the crumbs and junk on the table.)
