Crock pot lasagna

this is sctaylor's recipe from the love to cook team. Hope you don't mind me plugging it in, sc. 8 servings is exactly right for this recipe. We have a 6.5 quart round crockpot, so cut it pie-shaped. I agree with the person who said the added salt was unnecessary, so I'm removing it. It is very good without it. Using no-salt added tomato products, I hope, will cut the sodium even more - I'll amend again next time I try it!Submitted by: LEAKAY59

Rosemary Balsamic Sirloin Kabobs

Simple and straight forward, this recipe could be made the day ahead of time, the morning of to save the marinade time. I make two pounds at once, marinade over night, and freeze off in portion sizes the next day while i skewer my kabob for dinner. That way, all you have to do is pull it out the night before and skewer it the next day just before grilling or baking.Submitted by: MOTIVATION4LEA

Its a every day dish, nothing fancy but quite tasty. I might add some red bell peppers to give it a bit more taste. All make it again, its quick, good and simple! - 10/2/09

This was pretty tasty! The ricotta does kinda give it a grainy texture in the beef but it's definately yummy. I might mix the ketchup into the ricotta mix the next time to give it a more sweetness and flavor. Definately would make again. Hubby even liked it! - 5/8/08

was a good dish but seemed a little on the dry side when it was finished... taste was excellent just kept finding myself feeling like i was ending up with spaghetti with barey any sauce or anythng else other than tomatoes in it.. may make again but may try to tweak it for my family... - 3/10/14

I think this recipe was ok. The ketchup sort of ruined it for me. I would like to find something to use in its place. - 12/12/13

Loved IT! I cut down the spices to 1/2 Tbsp of Basil & Oregano. It was perfect! Picky 7 year old who hates meat unless it's chicken nuggets had seconds and told me, "The next time you make something I don't like make some of this for me to eat." Husband liked it too and both of them hate ketchup. - 10/20/11

I made this last night, and it was hit with the husband. Pretty easy to make, and very tasty (I added a whole bunch of spices though). - 4/14/11

Very, very yummy. I doubled the recipe. Instead of using 2 tomatoes, I used one large tomato and one can of diced tomatoes because that's what I had. I used olive oil instead of butter on the pasta. My husband and his friends really liked it. - 3/14/11
