21 Day Menu: Lasagna, Garlic Toast, Green Salad

Sep21
    Shopping List

  • mozzarella cheese
  • cottage cheese
  • parmesan cheese
  • spaghetti sauce
  • ground beef
  • hamburger helper lasagna mix OR egg noodles
  • green salad mix (butter and/or romaine lettuces)
  • tomatoes
  • white bread OR texas toast OR garlic bread

Boil and drain the noodles.
Cook and drain the ground beef. Sprinkle with the seasoning packet (if you used Hamburger Helper noodles).
Mix the cheeses together.
Open the spaghetti sauce.

Layer noodles, cheese mix and beef, pouring a little spaghetti sauce over each layer. My own preference is to put a little sauce and then the beef at the bottom, then noodles, then cheese, then sauce, then repeat one more time ending with sauce at the top.

Cook covered 30-45 minutes at 375-400, then uncover and cook another 15-30 minutes. My stove is old and doesn’t regulate itself well so time and temp varies greatly. When the lasagna is bubbly and browned on top, it is usually done and perfect.

Let it sit for 20-30 minutes while you fix the salad and toast. Then eat and enjoy.

Foil Pans SMART TIP: We buy foil pans from Sams Club in bulk so that we can make TWO at one time. This means we will have a day off later on!

Monday Supper Plans

Aug29

The tentative plan was to grill sausage, hamburgers, weiners and leg quarters. Also to make potato salad, deviled eggs, barbecued beans and coleslaw. BUT… we clean out refrigerators on Monday. The plan now is to eat ALL possible leftovers that might otherwise ruin!

I’ll let you know how this works out. As for today, we ate at Podnuh’s with Melissa for lunch and had a bowl of cereal for supper because the girls are sleeping at Melissa’s house.
