Slow Cooker Lasagna

2008-06-10T15:01:00.000-04:00

Lasagna for the crockpot

1/2 lb ground beef (cooked)

1 onion chopped
2 tsp Italian Seasoning
2 cloves garlic, pressed

1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
1 small can (8 oz) tomato sauce

1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
1/2 cup parmesean cheese, grated
1 cup mozzerella cheese, grated

1 pkg. Lasagna Noodles OR 4 cups uncooked pasta

Cook the ground beef, onion and garlic until done, drain and add Italian Seasoning. When done add spaghetti sauce & tomato sauce

In medium sized bowl mix together cottage cheese, parmesean, and mozzerella.

Place enough of the red sauce in crockpot to cover bottom. Then either add two layers of Lasagna noodles (you will have to break them up) or about 1 cup of uncooked pasta (spread evenly), layer with more red sauce, then cheese mixture and more noodles.

Make sure your top layer is the red sauce and that EVERYTHING is covered in red sauce.

Place lid on and cook on LOW for 3-5 hours. About 10 minutes before you are ready to serve add grated cheese to top (if desired). Cover and let cheese melt.

Serve and enjoy!

Tator Tot Casserole

2008-06-09T23:33:00.000-04:00

Tator Tot Casserole

This dish is ridiculously easy, but it's still a favorite. One of the best things about this is that you can easily add and take away ingredients for variety.

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef browned
(the first time I made this the recipe omitted this step, and duh I should have assumed it was browned, but I didn't and I just pressed all that raw meat in the bottom of the casserole dish. I think we ended up eating out that night:)
1 pkg frozen corn
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 pkg tator tots
2 cups shredded cheese

Directions
Layer ingredients in order listed except cheese. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, or until tots are brown. Last 10 minutes put cheese on.

Chicken Stir Fry (wok version)

2008-06-09T23:13:00.001-04:00

Chicken Stir Fry
I cook this meal with a wok

Ingredients
4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast (marinaded)
1 green pepper (cut julienne style)
1 red pepper (cut julienne style)
1 yellow pepper (cut julienne style)
1 orange pepper (cut julienne style)
1/2 onion sliced
1 small can watercress
2 handfuls fresh snap peas

Marinade
extra virgin olive oil
1-2 cloves crushed garlic
2-4 T ginger root grated
choice of prepared marinade

I usually marinade the chicken the night before or at the beginning of the day. I put the chicken breast in a 9x12 pan and make sure marinade covers the chicken. I use 3 parts evoo to 1 part already prepared or store bought marinade.

Directions
Cut chicken into strips. cook in wok with marinade, about 20 minutes covered. Take chicken out, put in veggies, add evoo and more crushed garlic as needed. Cook veges covered about 15 mins. Combine chicken with veges continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes.

I always serve this with brown rice.
