Easy Lasagna

I love home made lasagna but lets face it, its a lot of work. I came up with an easy way to make home made lasagna without all the work. What works for me is using the Costco/Kirkland Frozen Four Cheese Ravioli.

What I do is:

1st Make a meat sauce out of browned ground beef (or a mix of ground beef and pork sausage) and a bottled pasta sauce.

2nd Take out the frozen four cheese ravioli.

3rd Get out grated cheese. I usually use a cheddar/jack blend also from Costco.

4th Begin to layer. First a little meat, a layer of frozen ravioli, and a little grated cheese. Repeat three times.

Bake at 350 degrees for 60 min. That's it!

The raviolis thaw while cooking. The large raviolis make for easy cutting because they are in squares. You can add any other ingredient you have time for like mushrooms, zucchini or even spinach if you want. The raviolis keep you from having to boil the noodles and prepare a ricotta cheese blend. It also keeps you from having to spread that out, which is always a pain.

This is what works for me. For other great ideas check out Shannon at RocksinmyDryer.

My idea is a simple one. It seems that I never can find clips for the bags of food in the house. Instead of buying them I use the clip at the end of plastic pant hangers. You know the plastic ones from the store that they leave on the pants when you buy them. All you have to do is break the end off, the part with the clip, and presto a great chip clip!

I know its not a brilliant idea, but I am just starting out and this is my first Works for Me Wednesday! I am so excited to join the crowd!!
