Cowboy Lasagna

This recipe is called cowboy lasagna, but after doing some searching it looks like the majority of the cowboy lasagna recipes are different than this one, either way it was still really good.

1 lb ground beef

1 tsp salt

dash pepper

1 tsp sugar

16 oz tomato sauce

8 oz wide egg noodles

3 oz cream cheese

1½ pints sour cream

½ cup cheddar cheese (I used mozzarella) 

Brown meat, garlic, salt and pepper. Add sugar and tomato sauce, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Mix sour cream and cream cheese.

Cook noodles and place 1/3 of noodles in a greased casserole and cover with 1/3 sour cream mixture and 1/3 tomato and meat mixture.

Repeat layers and cover with grated cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

InstaFriday 7

Back for my 7th week of InstaFriday hosted by Life Rearranged

I'm growingto4 if you want to follow me

The Octonauts were at our local mall doing a show last weekend. It was pretty cute. 

First day of Kindergarten! 

He always lays and sleeps on the table. Usually the cat is on his bed when he's up here. 

This day, they decided to make the table bunk beds. Silly animals! 

First Day of Kindergarten

How can Marley be old enough for kindergarten already?! She started this past Monday and so far things are going well. 

 She goes from 8-3:30 everyday except Wednesday's she gets out at 1:50 so that's nice to have some extra time with her after school.  Her teacher is really great and her school is a perfect fit for her.  

She popped right out of bed on the first day, but the rest of the mornings have been a little slow moving for all of us. Here's hoping that things continue on this well for the rest of the year.

Italian Crescent Casserole

This recipe was amazingly good! It was another meal that was quick and easy to make and we ate it all up!

1lb ground beef, cooked and drained

1 cup garlic tomato pasta sauce

1can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

1½ cups shredded Italian cheese blend

¼ teaspoon dried basil leaves

In skillet, mix cooked beef and pasta sauce. Heat over medium heat until warm.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Separate crescent dough into 8 triangles. Place dough in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate (I used a small bowl) with the thick side in the middle.  Press dough seams together to make a crust. Sprinkle 1 cup of the cheese over dough.  Spoon meat mixture evenly over cheese.  Fold tips of dough over filling to meet in center; do not overlap. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup cheese and the basil. Bake at 375°F 15 to 20 minutes.
