SIMPLE LASAGNA

preheat oven to 350 degrees

ingredients

1 and a half pounds of ground beef

1-26 oz can spaghetti sauce (any type or flavor you prefer)

12 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

24 oz small curd cottage cheese

1 pound UNCOOKED  lasagna noodles ( i prefer the oven ready type in the 12 oz package)

this is great cause you do not pre cook the noodles at all!

first brown the ground beef in a pan,when done drain excess grease off.

then in a 13x9x2 pan layer sauce (i use 2 -- 26 oz cans but i cook for a big family) then noodles then meat then cottage cheese then mozzarella cheese then noodles then sauce then meat then cottage cheese then mozzarella cheese then top with noodles

then sauce being sure to cover the noodles and end with mozzarella cheese on top

do not worry about getting noodles to the edges of the pan as they will expand

bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes

serve with garlic bread and a tossed green salad for a great meal!! good luck!

Answer 7

Moms Accidental Teriyaki Pork Chops

This dish can be made more or less sweet according to taste. It is just as good without the mushrooms.

6 to 8 pork chops (boneless) or chicken

¼ cup butter or margarine

3 TBS olive oil

1 cup slice mushrooms (optional)

¼ cup sweet wine (White port wine is good)

½ cup Kikoman Teriyaki Marinade

¼ cup corn syrup or sugar (optional), use only if you like your teriyaki a little sweet

1 - (10 ½ oz) can white sauce or package white sauce made according to directions

In large skillet brown pork chops in 2 tablespoons melted butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Remove chops from pan. Add remaining butter and oil to pan drippings. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden brown. Add remaining ingredients except white sauce. And simmer for 15 minutes. Add white sauce and stir until smooth and completely blended. Place pork chops in a 3-quart casserole dish and pour sauce over it. Bake at 350F for about 1 ½ hours or until chops are tender.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Serving suggestions: Goes great with mashed potatoes (use the sauce over the potatoes), pasta, or rice.
