Happy Halloween everyone. I hope you all are having a good Halloween. I thought about writing a piece about some cool spooky Halloween kind of dish. I came up with the idea of making a meatloaf into the shape of a hand or a foot or something. Then I came across the Not Martha website. This is a cool looking meatloaf and my wife and I thought it would be fun to make one of these the next time we get the whole family together so I am now on the hunt for a hand shaped mold. So now that the meatloaf body part has already been perfected by someone else I decided to go with my original idea and give you my lasagna recipe instead.
I like to make a big pan of lasagna because it will last a couple of days and it is easy to make. The prep time is a little more involved, but you will not be spending the whole day slaving over a hot stove.
Cheesy Lasagna
Ingredients:
Cook the noodles in a large pot. If you want to use the ready bake noodles it will save some time. I have tried these and prefer cooking my noodles.
While the noodles are cooking, brown the ground beef in a large frying pan with the diced onion.
Add the tomato sauce. Add the oregano and garlic to taste. Simmer the meat and sauce for 5 minutes and remove from heat.
Drain the noodles and set aside to cool.
When the noodles are cool lay a layer of the noodles in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Add a layer of the meat and sauce. Next add a layer of Velveeta slices. You can get the large brick of Velveeta and cut into slices, or you can use the sliced Velveeta.Now add a layer of the mozzarella cheese and the cheddar cheese. Instead of using the mozzarella and cheddar you can use your favorite blended cheese.
If you like cheesy lasagna this is the way to go. I don’t know how many calories are in a serving of this lasagna, but I do know I have to loosen my belt after eating a plate of this delicious dish.
I hope everyone has a happy, safe, and scary Halloween.
Oh and Rich — I want to thank you for your Candy Pyramid post. When my wife read it and found out why we never seem to get any trick or treaters she banned me from handing out candy. Me and the dogs will be watching the World series game uninterrupted tomorrow night.
