Throw-Together-Lasagna

I had an hour and a half until dinner, a box of lasagna noodles, and a freezer stuffed with goodies from the summer.  My boys needed a good dose of veggies after gluttony all weekend.  So......  I present Throw-together-lasagna.

Lasagna noodles, cooked.
+/- Quart of roasted tomato sauce
Mixed Italian cheeses, shredded (or whatever is on hand!)
2 cups green beans
2 cups spinach
1/2 cup cooked mild Italian sausage
1/2 - 1 cup ground meat
bread crumbs
2 eggs
seasoning to taste

While the noodles cook, puree the green veggies and meats, bread crumbs and 1/2 cup of cheese until smooth.

Spread sauce over the bottom of lasagna pan, to just cover. Lay down 3 noodles. Top with filling, some sauce, and a sprinkle of cheese.  Repeat layers, ending with sauce and cheese. Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes.  Allow to set for 10 minutes before cutting.

Enjoy!

Chard-Stuffed Meatloaf (My New Favorite!)

The Joy of Gardening Cookbook by Janet Ballantyne

I don't have permission to reproduce this book for you... but I highly recommend it.  This is my new favorite meatloaf.  It is basically an Italian meatloaf stuffed with a filling of Ruby Chard and cheeses. Mmmmmm! Topped with the roasted tomato sauce from this summer, this was a big hit with the entire family.
