Red Gold has a fun summer promotion for you to participate in called the Red Gold Summer Grilling Party! They'd love for you to use their tomato products this summer as you're grilling; I love them because their tomatoes are grown in the Midwest... just like me! Red Gold will give away a Large Big Green Egg each week as well as 1,000 insulated tote bags; the giveaway runs until July 22, 2015 on their Facebook page.
I was going to do a great grilling recipe, but then we were overtaken by terrible thunderstorms and weather. I had an umbrella malfunction one day and got so drenched, I had to leave work to go home and change! Needless to say, I was craving some warmth and comfort... so I turned to a really great recipe from Red Gold for their Skinny Lasagna, using Laura's Lean Beef.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 (28 ounce) can Red Gold® Crushed Tomatoes, or 2 (15 ounce) cans Red Gold Crushed Tomatoes
- 2 (14.5 ounce) cans Red Gold® Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic & Oregano
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 pound Laura's 96% Lean Ground Round, or ground turkey, cooked and drained
- 1 (16 ounce) box traditional whole wheat lasagna noodles
- 1 (15 ounce) carton low fat cottage cheese
- 2 cups shredded low fat mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated low sodium Parmesan cheese
(I added a drained can of mushrooms, because we love mushrooms!)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. In large mixing bowl combine water, crushed tomatoes and diced tomatoes, black pepper, Italian seasoning and ground round, stir to combine ingredients in the sauce.
- Cover the bottom of a 9x13x2 inch baking pan with 1½ cups of sauce mixture. Arrange 1/3 of noodles on top of sauce, slightly overlapped. Top with ½ of cottage cheese, ½ of mozzarella cheese and 1 cup of sauce. Repeat layers and top with last 1/3 of noodles and the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 to 1½ hours; until noodles are cooked. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
I served it with some garlic toast, and Dan LOVED it. We're actually enjoying the leftovers, and he told me he'd like to have it more often. I really love the Red Gold Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic & Oregano; the scent when you open the can just smells incredible, like your favorite Italian dish. I've also read that you CAN cook lasagna on a grill, so that fits in with the summer grilling theme, right?
Because I loved cooking with Red Gold and Laura's Lean Beef (which I found at my local Kroger) I am offering a $25 Kroger giftcard plus some Red Gold goodies to my readers!
