BETTY CROCKER VEGETARIAN LASAGNA RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook 5 to 7 minutes, breaking up any lumps with back of wooden spoon. Add onion; cook and stir about 4 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the pepper; cook 1 minute. Stir in pasta sauce. Heat to simmering; reduce heat to low. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix tomato sauce mixture, cooked pasta, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and 3 eggs. Spread in baking dish; spread top smooth.
• In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in flour, 1 teaspoon salt and the nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Gradually beat in milk with whisk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly; boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; beat in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. In small bowl, beat 1/2 cup of the hot mixture into beaten egg. Return egg mixture to pan, beating constantly. Pour over top of pasta.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until top is bubbly and lightly browned in spots. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Make and bake boxed brownie mix according to the packaged directions. Bake in a 9 x 9 baking dish with parchment paper-with extra parchment paper sticking out over the edges to lift out of the pan later. Do not over bake-check a couple minutes before 40 minutes-brownie needs to be set.
• Note: When adding the extract, begin with 1/4 tsp and taste frosting. Add more if desired. (I like the 1/2 tsp-but it may be strong to others)
• After brownie has cooled completely, mix mint frosting ingredients in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, until smooth and creamy.
• Spread mint frosting on top of the brownie and place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
• After mint frosting has set in the freezer, make the ganache: heat chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl, in the microwave. Heat on 1/2 power. Stir every 20 seconds until chocolate is smooth and creamy.
• Spread ganache over the mint frosting and place back in the freezer for about 20 minutes or a little more, if desired. Freezing helps with cleaner cuts when cutting the brownies (as well as wiping your knife clean between cuts).
• Cut brownies store in the refrigerator.
