Savvy with Abbie

Last night for dinner I made this homemade lasagna. It took over an hour but it wasn't too difficult to make overall. Kevin and I would rather not have ricotta cheese so we found a recipe HERE that didn't contain ricotta. Instead, we used mozzarella, colby jack, and parmesan. Ingredients: 12oz can of spaghetti sauce 8oz can tomato sauce 3 Tbsp onion powder 1 Tbsp italian seasoning 2 tsp garlic powder 1 cup water 1 pound ground beef 8oz bag of mozzarella cheese 2 cups colby jack cheese 15 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained 3oz shaved parmesan cheese Directions: Fill a large pot with water and a few teaspoons of salt. Let boil. Cook lasagna noodles for 10 minutes, placing 2-3 in the pot at a time. Add the ground beef to a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 Tbsp onion powder and brown the meat. Add the spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, and water. Add in the remainder onion powder, italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Let simmer for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 35

Last week I spent the entire week with my sisters, nieces, nephew, and cousins. It was so much fun! We went to the beach, went and got ice cream, played Yahtzee and tennis. We had a BBQ for my Nana's 80th birthday and made this Lasagna a few days before. This original recipe was from Betty Crocker . I renamed it Four Sisters because it took four of us, sisters, to make it ;) We made this recipe a little bit different. Originally we weren't going to add Cottage Cheese but I got outvoted so we did end up using it. We eliminated the Basil Pesto and replaced the chopped Onion with Onion Powder. We also used two different types of Tomato Sauce and two bags of mozzarella cheese instead of one bag. Enjoy! Ingredients: - 12 uncooked lasagna noodles - 1 container cottage cheese (15oz) - 1 container ricotta cheese (15oz) -2 eggs -1 tsp salt -2 bags shredded mozzarella cheese (10oz) -1.5 pound ground beef -1 Tbsp onion powder -2 jars of your choice of pasta sauce Directio
