Trying to find Betty Crocker Recipe from 1970's

Hi All,


I have misplaced my Betty Crocker cookbook. It had to be from 1975 to 1979.


There were 2 great recipes that I miss.


One was for Italian dressing using Lemon juice in place of the vinegar


The other (in the same book) was called Crowd Pleaser Lasagne.


Thank you all for helping me find them.

This might be it.


Lasagne


2 lbs. ground beef


1/4 pound ground lean pork


3 medium onions chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)


2 cloves of garlic, minced


2 cans (1 lb. each) tomatoes


2 cans (15 ozs.) tomato sauce


1/4 cup parsley flakes


1/4 cup sugar


2 teaspoons salt


2 tsp. basil leaves


6 cups (4 12 oz. cartons)creamed cottage cheese


1 cup grated Parmesan Cheese


2 tablespoons parsley leaves


1 tablesoon salt


2 teaspoons oregano leaves


2 packages (8 ozs. each) lasagne noodles cooked and well drained


1 1/2 lbs shredded mozzarella cheese


1 cup grated Parmesan cheese


Brown meat, onion and garlic, until onion is tender.  Drain off fat.


Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, 1/4 cup parsley flakes, the sugar, 2 teaspoons salt and the basil.  Heat to boiling.  Reduce heat, simmer uncovered about 1 hour or until mixture is the consistency of spaghetti sauce.


Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix cottage cheese, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons parsley flakes, 1 tablespoon salt and the oregano leaves.  Reserve 1 cup meat sauce for thin top layer.


In each of 2 ungreased baking pans, 13x9x2 inches, layer 1/4 each of the noodles, remaining meat sauce, the mozzarella cheese and cottage cheese mixture; repeat.  Spread reserved meat sauce over top; sprinkle each pan with 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. (lasagne can be refrigerated several hours at this point until time to bake.)


Bake uncovered 45 minutes.  (allow additional 10 to 15 mintues if lasagne has been refrigerated.)  For easier cutting, let stand 15 minutes after removing from oven.


24 servings (3-inch square per serving).

Hello,


Can you use ground turkey instead of ground beef in this recipe, and do you have to put in onions?Smile

I use ground turkey in all my recipes, I would certainly say yea to using gr. turkey.  If onions aren't your thing, I would use seasonings that you prefer.  That is what is fun about cooking things from scratch, you can make things your way.

Hi,


I have had good luck using ground turkey in my recipes also.  Onion powder works well if you don't like the actual onions in the dish but want the flavor.  I would use a small amount first because it is strong and adjust it to your taste.
