Rosies Cheesy Meat Lasagna Recipes

CHEESY MEAT LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Boil and cook shells as directed
• Brown ground beef, season, and drain grease (reserve 1 tsp).
• Saute onions (or other vegetables in same pan using approx 1 tsp reserved grease -- add more if needed or use butter or other oil).
• combine ground beef, onions, and pasta sauce in same pan. cover and simmer on low while you prepare the rest of the meal. Stir occasionally.
• Mix cottage cheese, egg, then salt and pepper lightly. Mix well and add 2 cups cheese. Mix again.
• Spray a 13x9 inch baking pan and begin to layer in order -- shells, cottage cheese mix, meat sauce (repeat 3 times) and finish off by topping 1-2 cups mozzarella or Italian blend cheese onto lasagna.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes uncovered or until cheese is melted to your preference. I like to sprinkle an Italian blend seasoning or crushed red pepper on our individual servings. We serve this with garlic bread and a salad.
• Let stand approximately 20 minutes before cutting/serving (to set up or else it is too saucy). I use this time to make the salad and toast the garlic bread. This meal tastes even better the next day!

• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, stir together cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, eggs, pesto and salt. Stir in 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Set aside.
• In 12-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in pasta sauce.
• Spread 1 cup beef mixture in baking dish; top with 3 noodles and 2 1/2 cups cheese mixture. Top with 3 noodles, 2 cups beef mixture and 3 more noodles. Top with remaining cheese mixture, 3 noodles and remaining beef mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese.

8 CHEESE MEAT LASAGNA

Steps:

• Line your dish lightly with oil (I like to use an extra virgin olive.
• Mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, provolone, muenster, parmesan, romano, feta, goat cheese, eggs, pepper, and parsley well in a large mixing bowl (being careful, cheese tends to fly out at you).
• Stir your sauce ingredients together in mixing bowl.
• Lay strips of pasta across dish parallel until layer is covered.
• Paste out the cheese mixture on top of pasta evenly.
• Repeat 5 with sauce on top of cheese mixture.
• Lightly sprinkle mozzarella on top of pasta (this helps hold the pasta together.
• Lay down another layer of pasta and repeat steps 5-8 until you reach the top of your dish.
• Sprinkle a little mozzarella and parmesan on the last layer of pasta (for looks).
• Cover with aluminum foil (this prevents the top from drying out--unless you like that).
• Preheat oven to 315°F and cook for 1 hour.
