LASAGNA ROLLS

JJ mentioned having Lasagna Rolls at school and thought "I want to try that".  Here is my recipe thrown together with ideas from recipes I found on Pinterest.

 Ingredients:
  • 1 lb lasagna noodles, cooked, drained and cooled
  • 1 jar Prego (or your favorite) spaghetti sauce
  • 1 lb hamburger
  • 1 onion
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 (small) can mushrooms
  • 1 (15 oz) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp parsley flakes
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided (1 1/2 cup for filling, 1/2 cup on top)
  • Olive Oil
  • Ground Oregano
  • Oregano Flakes
  • Parsley Flakes
  • Garlic Salt
  • Garlic Powder
  • Pepper
  • Salt


Instructions:

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Cook lasagna noodles per package directions.  Do not over cook.  I left my al dente because they would be cooked more in the oven.

Drain noodles, cool, sprinkle with olive oil and set aside.
For sauce:

Add olive oil, ground beef, minced garlic and onion to pot.  Season to taste with salt, pepper, garlic salt & powder, parsley & oregano. Brown until cooked through.


Add jar of spaghetti sauce.  Season to taste with pepper, garlic salt, parsley & oregano.  Let simmer on low about 20 minutes.  Pour half of sauce into greased pan.


Mix ricotta cheese, egg, parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp parsley flakes, 1/8 tsp pepper, 1 tsp garlic salt and 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.

Lay noodles flat and spread a spoonful of filling mixture onto noodles.

Roll up like a sleeping bag and place in the pan seam side down.

Top with remaining sauce and mozzarella cheese.  I also topped with a little more parmesan cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Very good, but a little dry.  It needs more sauce.  Next time, I would do 2 jars of spaghetti sauce.

PORK CHOW MEIN This is a simple Pork Chow Mein recipe I developed using a La Choy canned chow mein meal.  We used to just use the canned chow mein as is, but as our tastes have changed, we wanted more flavor, more complexity.  So, by adding fresh pork (chicken or beef would work, too) and some fresh veggies, we made a much better meal! Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds pork loin (we use whatever is cheapest, have tenderloin and even pork chops) 1 can La Choy Chicken Chow Mein 1 can Water Chestnuts 3/4 stalk of celery 1/2 carton fresh mushrooms 2 jalapeno peppers (could use green peppers or other peppers) 1 onion Minced Garlic Teriyaki sauce Soy sauce Sweet and Sour sauce Sesame Oil Olive Oil Rice Wine Vinegar Pepper Ground Ginger Onion Powder Garlic Powder Garlic Salt Salt Lime Juice Drain canned veggies. Dice and chop onion, jalapenos, mushrooms and celery. Cut pork into bite size pieces. Add olive oil (1 tb...

CHICKEN ALFREDO BAKED ZITI We were going to visit relatives at their lake place and they wanted pasta for dinner, like Alfredo.  Jesse said I make really good red sauces, but have never made a great white sauce.  I kind of agreed - it just wasn't something I did often because when I had it wasn't really special enough to stand out. Never to be discouraged, I did a little research and found some recipes for Chicken Alfredo Baked Ziti.  Using ziti in a casserole version fit our purposes, rather than fettuccine with Alfredo sauce.  Using ideas from two pins  (see Pinspirations at bottom) , I created my own .  I made each component and stored them separately  overnight.  In the morning I layered them in a cake pan and packed them in the cooler to be made that evening in the oven. It was AWESOME!  They were all impressed, especially Jesse.  He's never been a huge fan of chicken or Alfredo because it tends to be bla...

SWEDISH MEATBALLS There was several different kinds of meatballs at a recent holiday potluck I was at and I found myself checking them, trying to determine if they were homemade or pre-made frozen ones (i.e. Simek's).  At one time I thought the pre-made ones were great, but my tastes have matured.  Now I can't stand them!  Thus, I find myself being picky at a potluck-LOL!  Thankfully, for once, two of the three were homemade.  Yey! Fast forward a few days and I'm thinking about what to make for Sunday dinner and I thought of Swedish Meatballs.  I've had ones that others make and loved them.  However, I have never made them myself.  Why not?  Who knows?  I think I thought they were too much trouble to roll out.  Anyway, went searching on Pinterest this morning and found two I thought were good.   Below is my adaptation of these two recipes: * http://lifewithmel.com/cookingwithmel/2012/3/9/swedish-meatballs-w-crea...
