The chili tastes just as good not in a breadbowl, they are just more fun to eat. : )
1 lb. ground beef
1 large onion chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
Mixture of hot peppers, diced
1 16 oz. can kidney beans
1 29 oz. can whole tomatoes, chopped
4 oz. tomato sauce
1 c. water
1 tbsp. chili powder
Salt & Pepper
3/4 tsp. dried cumin
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
Tobasco sauce
Cook ground beef, onion, garlic and peppers in large pot. Once meat is cooked and crumbly, stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 45 minutes to one hour.
Take the breadbowl and cut the top off, which is great for dipping, add the chili, top with cheese and you are done! Mmmmmm……
This is three layers of heaven.
Ricotta cheese mixture (see below)
Box of lasagna (I use the Barilla no-cook lasagna)
Sauce
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
Cheese mixture:
1 15 oz. container low fat ricotta cheese
2 c mozzarella cheese
1/2 c Parmesan cheese
1 eggs
1 tbsp. parsley flakes
Mix together well.
In a 9 x 13 glass pan, spray the bottom lightly and then add a thin layer of sauce on the bottom. Take lasagna piece and spread the cheese mixture on top and lay on the sauce, do this three time to make the bottom layer. Pour sauce on top of the cheese mixture on each layer. Then start the second layer and spread the cheese mixture on top and place on top of sauce of the first layer. Once all three are covered add sauce to each piece of the second layer. Then create a third cheese layer and lay on top of second. This time you will want to use more sauce and cover the entire top of the lasagna. Spread two cups of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. If cheese begins to brown too quickly, add tinfoil to the top and continue baking.
Bacon Burger Patties
Sauted onions and Jalapenos
Onion rings
BBQ sauce
Pepper jack cheese
**Start heating up oil for onion rings**
Grill bacon burgers on grill. If you don’t precook the ground bacon at all, the burgers cannot be medium rare because the bacon needs to cook all the way through.
Cut up onions and peppers and place into a piece of tinfoil. Sprinkle some virgin olive oil over the top, close up and place onto grill next to burgers. The grill will slowly cook the veggies and they are so good.
Put in the onion rings to the fryer, they take about three minutes. Melt cheese on burgers and I also prefer a toasted bun. Place burger on bun once cheese is melted, add sauted onions and jalapenos, onion rings, and top with BBQ sauce. That’s it, no ketchup, mustard or relish. It’s wonderful.

Serve with baked beans for a complimentary side dish.
I use this sauce for lasagna, shells, spaghetti, manicotti, and heck, I’ll even use it for pizza sauce if needed. It’s wonderful.

This is a veggie sauce I made for a friend. After tasting it, I realized that I do prefer mine with meat and the flavors the meat provides. Good nonetheless and definitely usable for Chicken Parmesan!
