Cheddar Apple Breakfast Lasagna

9 ounces

frozen French toast -- cinnamon or 12 slices home made French toast

8 ounces

2 ½ cups

1 can (20 ounces)

Greased 9 X 13 inch pan.  Prepare French toast according to package directions.  Put 6 slices toast on bottom of pan.  Add layer of ham.  Add 2 cups of the cheese.  Add rest of toast slices.  Spread pie filling over top.  Sprinkle with granola.  

Bake 350 degrees for 25 minutes.  Top with rest of cheese and bake until cheese melts.

Serve with the sour cream mixture that was chilled.

Cheese Sauce

This is used for the lasagna recipe. But also good just to mix with macaroni.  Once again I usually tripled this recipe because these portions were just not enough.  

2 ounces

butter  

3 Tablespoons

flour  

2 cups

milk  

1 cup

grated Parmesan cheese  

Nutmeg  

Melt butter in saucepan and stir in the flour.  Add milk to make a white sauce.  Then add the cheese and melt.  Add about ¼ teaspoon or less if desired of nutmeg.  This spice is really a necessary ingredient of the cheese sauce.

Pasta«««««

This is the recipe used for homemade pasta, which can be made and frozen. 
This makes good spaghetti and/or noodles.

 

These are the ratios

 

 6 times this much would not be uncommon to make. 

1 cup

flour  

1 teaspoon

salt  (Use less if desired--it doesn't make that much difference!)

1

egg

1 Tablespoon

olive oil for spaghetti  Mazolla Oil for country time noodles

1 Tablespoon

hot water 

 

Substitute milk for water if making country noodles.

Mix well together and roll into balls; let rest 10 minutes. Use the pasta machine to make the spaghetti or noodles or cut by hand.

Porcupine Meat Balls«««

From Grandma Ladely

1 ½ pounds 

ground beef  

½ cup

uncooked rice  

1 teaspoon

salt  

¼ teaspoon

pepper  

¼ cup

chopped onion  

1 can

tomato soup  

½ cup

water  

 

Combine meat, rice, salt, pepper, and onion.  Shape into balls.  Blend soup and water in a pressure pan and add meat balls.  Cook at 15 pound pressure 10 minutes.  If you do not have a pressure cooker, add additional water to the soup--about another ¼ cup--and cooked in a covered skillet on top of the stove over low heat for about 30 minutes.  You will know when they are done because the rice will pop out of the meat balls and look like a porcupine.  Hence, the name.  

Rouladen

3 pounds

lean round steak, tenderized  

2 

medium onion, chopped  

4

dill pickles, chopped  

6 strips

bacon, cut in small pieces  

salt/pepper to taste

1 can

beef broth

½ cup

water  

½ cup

red wine

Cut steak into 4 or 5 inch triangles, mix onions, pickles and bacon in small bowl.  Place steak on flat surface; add salt and pepper.  Place one tablespoon onion mixture on each triangle.  Roll; secure with 2 or 3 toothpicks.  Sear steak in the broth (1/3 can at a time letting it cook down completely each time) in roasting pan.  This takes 30 to 40 minutes but makes for a better flavor and more even browning.  Pour water and wine into pan.  Cover tightly and bake at 325 degrees for 2 hours.
