Although I have been gone from the blog world, I have certainly not missed out on the mouth watering recipe world :) Here are a few foods that have been baking in our kitchen.
This was my very first lasagna and let me tell you, it was very good!! Adam and I sat down and almost ate the whole thing, it-was-that-good. You want the recipe? It is as follows:
1 lb bulk Italian sausage or lean ground beef (I used the beef)
1 (24-oz) jar market pantry pasta sauce (any flavor-I used the traditional)
1 cup water
2 (15 oz) containers ricotta cheese
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1-1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
9 market pantry oven ready lasagna noodles
1 tsp dried parsley or basil leaves
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Cook the sausage or beef until browned then drain and stir in pasta sauce and water. In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs and 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese and 1 cup parmesan cheese. Then, in a 13 x 9 in baking dish, spread 1-1/2 cups meat sauce and top with 3 lasagna noodles. Half the ricotta mixture (approx. 2-1/2 cups) and spread on top of noodles with one cups of the meat sauce too. Repeat those steps once. Top with remaining noodles and sauce and cover tightly with tin foil. Bake for 60-70 min or until lasagna is tender. Remove the foil, top with remaining cheeses and parsley and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Once finished, let it stand for 10 min then cut and serve.
Yes, those are sausage balls and they are delicious. I have made these on several occasions and they are always a big hit!
1 lb sausage
1/4 cup water
2 cups Bisquick
2 cups cheddar cheese
Mix all above ingredients, form into small balls, and cook for about 25 minutes on a 350 degree preheated oven. You will not regret making these!
Hope y'all have a lovely weekend :)
