I LOVE giblet gravy with the sliced boiled eggs. I love homemade cheese balls as well as turkey. However, my family loves the Rotel dip, Armadillo eggs, and cream cheese braids during any holiday meal.

I am vegetarian, so a good three -cheese lasagna, is my speciality for the holidays.

OOPS! That should have been Post it.

Three-cheeses lasagna.

1 box lasagna noodles
8 0z Sharp cheddar cheese. shredded
8 0z Montery Jack Cheese,shredded
8 0z Mozzarella xheese, shredded

Cook noodles according to directions on the box. Drain and fill the pan with cold water and leave the noodles for a few minutes, so they don't stick together.
Using a 9 x 13 x 2 pan, put about 1 cup of sauce in the bottom and spread it around. Place three or four noodles in the pan (whichever fits across the width of the pan)
Mix the cheddar and Montery Jack cheeses together
Uisng about half of the cheese, put a layer on the noodles in the pan. Add 1 cup of sauce. If you like juicy lasagna add more, as the sauce cooks up during baking. Sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano over this layer.
Now make a second layer, as before but don't add oregano. (A little is enough!)
Make a third layer of noodles, add sauce and this time add a generous layer of the Mozzearella cheese.Instead of the other cheeses.
Bake uncovered in a 350° oven for 30-40 minutes until hot and bubbly
SAUCE
1 28-0z can tomato sauce and 1 can of water
1 small can tomato paste. and 1 can of water
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dreid Basil
1/4 tsp dried Oregano.
Mix all together and bring to a boil, then simmer for about three hours, adding water when it thickens, 1/2 to 1 cup.
After it has cooked about 2 1/2 hours if water is needed add just a little so it will be the consistency of any spaghettii sauce Simer for another half hour.
Add salt to taste, when it is done cooking.


I usually pour, toss, sprinkle and stir, so measurements have to be approximate.

LovetoCook, that looks so good! And I have all those ingredients in the house. We are not fans of ricotta, so this will be a great way to enjoy lasagna.

We tried the lasagna last night and it was SO yummy! I actually used 5 cheeses and I had a bag of blended Mozzarella and Provolone, and I put some Romano on top of the whole thing.

Thanks for sharing the recipe!
