30
Ground Beef Recipes: 15 Easy Ground Beef Casserole Recipes INSTRUCTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 2. In a large saucepan, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage together. Drain and set aside to cool. 3. Over medium heat, saut the garlic and red pepper flakes in the olive oil just until soft. 4. Add both cans of tomatoes, basil, oregano and fennel seeds. 5. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not over-cook and dry out the sauce. Remove from heat. 6. To make the filling, in a large bowl mix the Ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, and salt together. 7. Add in 2 cups of the mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. 8. Mix the drained and cooled meat into the Ricotta cheese mixture. 9. Add 1 cup of the cooled sauce. 10. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Set aside. 11. Bring a pot of water to a boil. 12. Meanwhile line work surface with a clean kitchen towel. 13. Add 3 to 4 noodles to the water at a time. Using tongs remove noodles after 30 seconds (just long enough to soften them and make them pliable) and lay them on the kitchen towel. Continue until all noodles are ready. 14. Turn water off and carefully pour some of the boiled water into a bowl. Keep near your work surface to dip noodles in if they are not pliable enough to roll. 15. Spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce into a 139 baking dish. 16. Spread a heaping 1/3 cup of filling mixture onto bottom 3/4 of each noodle, leaving top 1/4 of noodle uncovered. Starting from the end with cheese, roll into the noodle into a tube shape and arrange in baking dish seam side down. 17. Top evenly with remaining sauce, covering each noodle completely. 18. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake on the middle rack until the sauce bubbles, about 40 minutes. 19. Remove roll ups from the oven and adjust the oven rack to the highest position. It should be about 6 inches from the heating element. 20. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan mixture evenly over each individual roll up. Do not replace the foil. 21. Broil until cheese starts to brown (watch carefully, only a minute or so!). 22. Cool 15 to 20 minutes before serving to allow the roll ups to set. NOTES 1. This recipe can be prepared ahead, using a disposable lasagna foil pan is best. Where the instructions state to cover the pan with aluminum foil, cover with a sheet of parchment paper instead. Wrap pan in aluminum foil, and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. (If frozen, thaw the roll ups in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.) To bake, remove the parchment, replace with aluminum foil, and increase baking time to 1 to 1 1/4 hours.

THANK YOU
THE FOLLOWING BLOGGERS MADE THIS ECOOKBOOK POSSIBLE:
Kate from Framed Cooks I am a self-taught cook, a self-taught photographer and a self-taught dog-owner. I really do love to cook, and I really do cook every daybut the catch is, it has to be ready in 30 min utes or less, from walk in the kitchen to sitting on the table ready to be eaten. (Except for weekends when I am perfectly happy to spend all day in the kitchen.) So, most of the posts up here are for recipes that are fast and happy. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

My husband is an all-American cowboy living his dream of working on a ranch. We have three beautiful children and two dogs. I'm a wife, mother and three-ring circus leader. I grew up a country girl and rancher's daughter right in the heart of our nation. I'm proud of my deep agricultural roots and pray I can pass them on to my kids. We fish on the weekends and grill on the porch with a cold beer and good company. These are my stories, my heart, my soul. I share them with you. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Amber from Chocolate Broccoli
Many people I come across think diet is a four letter word and commonly misconceive living a healthy lifestyle means eating (very little) bland and boring food- i.e., plain chicken, empty salads and cutting out our favorite things, like chocolate or ice cream. My goal is to encourage readers to get back in the kitchen and lose the crazy thought that taste and nutrition cant happily coexist.
