COWBOY BEAN BAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, add the oil and lightly brown the ground beef and sausage. Be sure to keep the meat chunky, not finely separated, while cooking. Add the pepperoni, tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, onion and 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions and drain.
• In the bottom of a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan, spread a layer of the prepared sauce. Top with a layer of the lasagna noodles and the ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat, ending with the sauce, noodles and cheeses.
• Bake until lightly browned and bubbling, about 40 minutes. Allow the dish to stand for 15 minutes before serving. Cut the lasagna into 3-inch squares and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until no longer pink; drain. Return to skillet; stir in beans, corn, tomatoes, chiles, taco seasoning mix and chili powder. Heat to simmering.
• Stir cream cheese into beef mixture until melted; remove from heat. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese. Pour into baking dish.
• Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 6 pieces; top beef mixture with biscuits. Brush biscuits with melted butter. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and baked through.
