Whoops, it’s been awhile... Between winding down the school year and kicking off summer, I have not realized that it has been since April since I have updated everyone. Well you are in for a real treat this time. This is my nationally famous Cowboy Lasagna. This recipe was actually featured in the Half and Half magazine a few months ago. I love making this recipe because it’s not your typical and traditional lasagna recipe. In fact, this recipe is versatile you can use just about any kind of pasta noodle you want or have hanging around your pantry. Now this recipe is packed with dairy products, and they are also versatile, but I can’t promise it will turn out tasting the same. To get started, get your water boiling. While you are patiently waiting, this is where you mix the cream cheese, ricotta, and sour cream together. Once the water is boiling, follow the directions on the pasta box. The recipe calls for a 16oz box, but I don’t use all of the box. I use about 12-14 lasagna strips. Make sure you get them nice a dry before layering everything! This recipe tests you multi-tasking skills! While the water is boiling you will need to brown your ground beef and add in the jar of your favorite pasta sauce. Layer the noodles on top of the butter in your baking dish. Follow that up by layering the cheese mixture and then the meat mixture. Put that on repeat with the meat mixture the last step before you layer on some cheddar cheese! Pop it on the oven and enjoy! Ingredients:
1lb of cooked and drained ground beef 1 24 oz jar of marinara or your favorite sauce 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature 1/4 cup sour cream 1 cup ricotta cheese 16 oz of cooked and dried lasagne ( I do not use the whole box- see notes above) cheddar cheese, grated for topping Method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Combine cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and sour cream until smooth Combine meat and sauce Layer a few thin slices of butter into a greased 13x9 baking dish the layer your noodles, cheese mixture and meat mixture. Put that on repeat starting with thinly sliced butter and ending with the meat mixture on top. Sprinkle with as much cheddar as you’d like. Pop that into the oven and bake for 30 min! Enjoy!
