Lasagna Corn Carne

Flavorful
Description

My grandkids always ask me to make this dish, which is sort of like chili in a pan. I came up with the recipe one day using just ingredients I had on hand. It was an instant hit.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) salsa
  • 1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (14-3/4 ounces) cream-style corn
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 12 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
  • 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions
  1. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the salsa, beans, vegetables, garlic and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
  2. Spread a fourth of the meat sauce in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish; top with four noodles. Repeat layers once. Layer with half of the remaining sauce; sprinkle with half of the cheeses. Layer with the remaining noodles, sauce and cheeses.
  3. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 15-20 minutes longer or until heated through. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.

Spiced and Grilled Shrimp and Beans

Once the evenings remain even vaguely warm, I love to fire up the grill and cook dinner outside. Last night I was in the mood for shrimp and barbecue so I decided to make a marinade that’d be equally good on chicken or beef (future BBQ plans) and, because what’s a good barbecue without beans, grill some beans too. Garbanzos have the perfect degree of firmness to hold up atop a fire so I chose those rather than white beans (too fragile), red beans (too “beefy”) or black beans (more Mex than my marinade was). These turned out deliciously well. You’ll need 1-2 grill baskets lined with foil, and start this recipe an hour or so before you'll grill as the shrimp need to marinate.
