Skillet Lasagna

*I found this in a cook book I checked out from the library last year. I made some modifications.

Ingredients:

-1 lb ground beef
-1 can spaghetti sauce (we use Traditional or 3 Cheese)
-1 box bow tie pasta
-2 cups cheese (approx)

Instructions:

-Cook pasta according to instructions on the box.
-While pasta is cooking, in 12 in, or larger, skillet, brown the ground beef; drain fat when done. Add sauce to the beef and simmer on low.
-When pasta is done and drained, slowly add to the meat and sauce. (You won't want to use all of it, depending on how saucy you like youre pasta. We usually use all but about 1 1/2 cups. To save and use later, put left over pasta in tupperware with 1 tsp oil, shake to cover all pasta, and refrigerate.)
-Stir to cover all pasta with sauce. Spread thin layer of cheese on top (using about half the cheese); cover skillet with lid and let simmer to let cheese melt for about 1 min.
-Stir cheese in. Cover one more time with lid; about 1 - 2 minutes.
-Serve.

Biscuits

This recipe is from Allrecipes.com. I've made a few slight changes.

I love biscuits, and this is one of the best recipes I have found. They easy to make and bake up big and flaky! They are perfect with a little bit of butter and/or jam.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1/3 cup shortening
• 1 cup milk
• 
  

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually stir in milk until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
3. Turn out onto a floured surface, and knead no more than 20 times. Pat dough out to 1 inch thick. Cut biscuits with a large cutter or juice glass dipped in flour. Repeat until all dough is used. Brush off the excess flour, and place biscuits onto an ungreased baking sheet.
4. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges begin to brown.

*With the glass I use to cut the biscuits out, this makes about 8. It usually takes me less than 25 minutes from start to finish.
