My SIL Nancy, married to Hubs' older brother, shared this recipe with me years ago. She passed away about 9 years ago and she is greatly missed. She also made scratch crescent rolls, and the best lemon pie (also scratch, including the crust) on the planet.
What you need:
2-3 lbs ground beef, browned and drained. I always sprinkle some oregano in it...... 1 large carton cottage cheese 1-2 bags of shredded mozz. cheese 1 egg a couple jars of tomato sauce lasagna noodles, the flat kind,UNCOOKED
What you do:
This is a recipe that you can throw together before you head for work, and fix when you get home. (It needs to sit and meditate in the fridge for a few hours before baking.)
Spray your 9x13 (or whatever) pan with PAM. In a small bowl, mix the egg with the cottage cheese. Lay noodles on bottom of pan. Now, layer all the other stuff any way you want to. Make sure you end up with some of the mozz. cheese on top.
Put foil over the top of the pan and put the pan in the fridge for at least 6 hours. About 1 hour before you want to chow down, heat the oven to 350 and stick the pan in. Leave the foil on for about 25 min., then take it off. You kinda have to check, to make sure when the noodles are done, and to make sure the cheese doesn't burn. Bake the lasagna for 45-60 min., depending on your oven and how soon it gets done.
This is REALLY good with French bread and a simple green salad. Also, you can make it ahead of time, bake it and freeze it.
1-2 lbs. hamburger, browned and drained. Toss some oregano in the pan while you are browning it. 1 chopped onion, or about one TBSP of onion flakes 3 cups of beef broth 1 28-oz can of tomatoes with liquid (I get the chunked tomatoes) 1 cup sliced carrots 1 cup chopped celery 1 cup cubed red potatoes (skins on) 2 bay leaves 1 tsp salt 2 cans Niblets corn, drained 2 cans sliced green beans, drained 1 small can peas, drained
Use a large pot--I think mine is 6 qts. Dump the browned beef in, add all the veggies and the broth. I usually steam the spuds and carrots (while I'm browning the beef) so they cook faster, then add those to the pot. Toss in whatever else you haven't added as yet and stir it all up. (I think you're supposed to remove the bay leaves at some point, but since I usually forget to put them in anyway, I don't know when that point is.)
I made a big pot of this a couple hours ago and I forgot the broth and used 1 can of V-8 and one can of plain tomato juice instead and it tastes just fine. Depends on how tomatoey you like it. I just keep tasting it. Sometimes I add the juice from the beans or peas, sometimes I don't.
Hubs cannot stand peas in any form, but I figure he can pick 'em out with a spoon and give 'em to me. :)
We go thru a lot of this during the winter...when I get really ambitious, I make biscuits (scratch) to go with it.

I bake all the time. I promise that it wasn't something I did. I very carefully measure and very carefully follow directions. I have made cookies or cakes that I wasn't crazy about before and never make again and then I have recipes that I love and make over and over again.
But this recipe was AWFUL. There was nothing but 5 star reviews about how wonderful it was. I tried to leave a 1 star review and the review never made it onto the site. Surprise surprise. So I went to the forum and asked if the recipe proportions were wrong. Surprise surprise, that posting was deleted. Apparently, you aren't allowed to leave a review that says a recipe on their site was no good.
Does anybody else know of sites that don't allow negative reviews of recipes because I NEVER want to waste my time making a recipe on a site that only allows good reviews again. I depend on honest reviews to help me decide whether to try a recipe or not.
Just me I've never been a fan of that website, and now I will continue to avoid it! Thanks for sharing here. Too bad the site doesn't permit honest reviews!!!

Thank you for understanding. You know the other site that doesn't allow honest reviews...About dot com.
I made something from there (a Japanese recipe) and placed a negative review and it was censored. Notice how many positive reviews only they have? I wasn't rude. I was just honest that it was bad. But that review was not allowed. I no longer use any recipes from there.
I find it very, very dishonest for a website to censor their reviews to only or mainly allow just positive reviews. I love the recipe websites that allow honest reviews. What I have found is that websites that allow all reviews tend to have more reviews per recipe.
From now on, I am going to regard websites that only have a handful of reviews per recipe with extreme suspicion.
Had my choir over last night for our annual get-together. Someone brought yummy tarts and she said they were so easy to make - press sugar cookie dough into mini muffin tins, fill with lemon curd, and top with meringue. MMMMMMM.
Sift together: 1 ¾ c. flour 1 tsp. baking soda ½ tsp. salt Cream together: ½ c. butter ½ c. sugar ½ c. brown sugar Add: 1 egg 1 tsp. vanilla
Blend in dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Shape into balls (rounded teaspoon). Roll balls in sugar & place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375º for 10 mins. Remove from oven and quickly place candy Kiss on top. (Press down so cookie cracks around edge.)
Easy version: Use peanut butter refrigerated dough. Cut in 1" rounds, then quarter. Roll each quarter in small ball. Roll balls in granulated sugar. Bake according to directions. Remove from oven and place kisses firmly on each one, cracking the cookie. Cool.
Date Krispies
1 c. chopped dates 1 Tsp. vanilla ¾ c. sugar 1 c. chopped nuts 1 stick butter 2 c. Rice Krispies 2 egg yolks, beaten coconut Mix sugar and butter in heavy pan on top of stove. Let it melt and add eggs. Then add dates and stir constantly until dates are dissolved. Take off stove and add vanilla, nuts and Rice Krispies. Let it cool just long enough to touch. Roll into small balls and then roll in coconut.
Rum Balls
½ lb. vanilla wafers 1 c. confectioner’s sugar 2 Tbsp. cocoa 1 c. nuts ½ c. light corn syrup ¼ c. rum
Grind wafers very fine with rolling pin. Mix dry ingredients. Mix syrup & rum. Mix into dry ingredients until stiff. Roll balls (dust hands with confectioner’s sugar). Roll balls in confectioner’s sugar.
Chess Squares
1 box yellow cake mix 1 stick butter 1 egg. Grease 13 x 9 pan. Mix all and press into buttered pan.
Topping: 8 oz. cream cheese, softened 1 box confectioner’s sugar (4 c.) 2 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla ½ c. pecans
MIX. Pour over cake layer.
Bake @ 425º for 30 mins.
Hello Dolly Squares
1 stick butter 1 c. graham cracker crumbs 1 c. coconut 1 c. chocolate chips 1 c. nuts 1 c. (Eagle brand) sweetened condensed milk Melt butter in 9x9x2 pan. Sprinkle cracker crumbs, coconut, chips & nuts in layers of each. Pour milk over top, evenly. Bake 30 minutes @ 350º.
In a large saucepan, combine the first nine ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Stir in beef and 2 cups of milk; heat through. Combine flour and remaining milk until smooth; gradually stir into soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; stir in cheese until melted. Add cayenne
pepper if desired. Top with bacon just before serving. Yield: 6-8 servings (about 2 quarts).
Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

1 (32 oz.) package frozen hash brown potatoes 8 oz. cooked, diced ham 2 (10.75 oz.) cans condensed cream of potato soup 1 (16 oz.) container sour cream 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a large bowl mix together hash browns, ham, cream of potato soup, sour cream and Cheddar cheese. Spread evenly into prepared dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 1 hour in a 375 degree oven, or until lightly browned and bubbly.
I've had this before, made in a 9 x 13 pan. It's just angel food cake mix and a can of crushed pineapple, that's it. Then top with Cool Whip. It's delicious. But I'm wondering if it would work in a regular angel food cake pan. Anyone??

This is a fun pair of gals who cook with the crock pot. I am going to use some of their recipes to cook during school this year. They are on facebook and the web.
