Lasagna Rolls w/ Ricotta, Turkey and Sausage

We had some leftover ground turkey from burgers yesterday that needed to be used. I saw some lasagna rolls  on google that looked pretty good! So I tried it for myself! I also had one link of Mennonite Farmer sausage leftover from a couple of days ago, I started by boiling my lasagna noodles in salted water until done. Drain and set aside. I friend up the ground turkey and sausage until brown and a bit crispy. I also combined 1 small tub of ricotta, chopped spinach and salt and pepper. Then I started assembly.


I placed a tbsp or 2 of the ricotta mixture on first.











I then added the sausage and turkey mixture. Roll up and place in a casserole dish on top of a layer of pasta sauce, seam side down.

I made 9 rolls, covered with pasta sauce and smothered in cheddar cheese. Baked at 350f for 30mins.


Served with some cut of veg and dip!

The boys enjoyed!


Enjoy

Farmer Sausage Casserole

I was going to make perogies and farmers sausage, but as I took them both out and pots and pans etc, I decided to do a one dish meal. Easier clean up, and no sacrifice of taste!! This was an easy way to spruce up the ol sausage and perogy supper!

Select your roasting pan or casserole dish, place frozen perogies in the bottom, cut up the sausage and place on top. Vernon Butcher Shop has excellent Mennonite Sausage, pricy, but tasty! This was on Sale at Superstore, it is really good too, this stuff is not pre cooked.






Then add whatever vegetable you would like. We love spinach, and usually buy it in those big sealed containers.











Then mix one can of cream of anything soup, this was mushroom, I mixed in some sour cream and 3 tbsp of herb and garlic dip mix from Epicure. Pour all over!! Pre heat oven at 425f
Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Cover with tin foil, place in oven for 45 mins, remove foil and bake another 15 mins.







Yum! We devoured this rich, savory dish. I could only eat this once every couple of months, it is rich and very tasty! Enjoy!!

Munks Moons

Dennys...Its hard to resist the ol "moons over my hammy", Here is my take on just the moons...I had no hammy....Ha. Start off with scrambling 3 eggs with salt and pepper. Once finished, remove from heat. Grab two slices of bread, butter both outer sides, just like a grilled cheese. A little mayo inside, hot sauce if you like, a layer of cheddar cheese, and some crumbled feta. Add your eggs, put together and cook on medium high heat, turn once, slice and serve.
Enjoy!!

Focaccia BLT w/ Mozzarella

Who doesn't like a BLT? Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, on a yummy bread. Awesome and easy lunch idea.
The boys had a blast eating this monster of a sandwich, and they are huge!
I bought this massive loaf of focaccia at the Bakery in Askews. Day old, so it was 3.50, I sliced in half, toasted under the broiler until nice and brown, then to one half I added my cooked bacon.
On the other half, I shredded some Mozza, and added tomatoes to the adult half...My kids aren't fans ha! And placed under the broiler for a few minutes. On the other side added my nice lettuce, I didnt use mayo or butter, the focaccia has tons of olive oil and herbs in it, tons of flavor. Put together, slice and serve!!
Thats a Munk size BLT. We devoured the whole thing!!! So grab some bread, and enjoy a BLT today!!!

Enjoy

Pulled Pork Buns with Au Jus!

I love, love, love pulled pork. It is dead simple to do, cheap and really tasty. I bought a pork butt roast for .97c a lb. 9 bucks total. Rubbed with salt, pepper, garlic and sage. Slow cooked on low for 7 hrs. Once done, I removed and started pulling at the roast with my fork, shredding the tender meat off the bone. Separating fat and gristle. Your result is tender chunks of pork. I placed all the meat back in the cooker, added a bottle of bbq sauce and cooked on high for 1 more hour. We made it with rice and salad the first night, leftover buns yesterday and today....toasted pulled pork buns with mozzarella and Au jus! 

I bought some day old buns from the bakery, split and toasted lightly. Add heated up pork, lightly mayo one side, add slices of mozzarella and place under broiler until golden brown. Serve with warm Au jus and enjoy!!

Perogie Pie

The other night Shelby wanted perogies, I wanted Shepards Pie....So I came up with Perogie Pie.
Take 1lb ground beef, brown with onions and garlic. At the same time, bring to boil 4l of water, add a pinch of salt and frozen perogies. Once meat is browned, add your favorite flavoring for Shepards pie. We use mushroom soup mix often, today I used bbq sauce, more of a sloppy joe sauce. Drain perogies once they are done. Assemble and bake at 350f for 25 mins.

Beef with the onions and garlic in a bbq sauce. I used a fairly large casserole dish to assemble.











Add you favorite frozen or fresh veg. We have been using up the corn we froze like crazy. This corn was super sweet and is great in any meal!











I then layered my cooked perogies overlapping a bit.

Sprinkled med cheddar cheese, salt and pepper and baked off.











Delicious!














Scoop up ad serve!! The boys devoured this meal! And who would have thought that Perogies made a good substitute for mashed spuds!!!

Enjoy!
