By Request: GF Lasagna, Bean & Rice Nachos

So a couple of people had requested a couple recipes for pictures of foods I had previously posted to facebook. I had promised them these recipes ages ago, intending to eventually put them on a website but since that website is very far from being done, here are the recipes for those dinners!

The top picture is of Bean & Rice Nachos and the bottom recipe is of Gluten free/Noodle free Lasagna. Both of these recipes were recipes I modified when I first became gluten free so that I wouldn't have to be expensive gluten free ingredients so they are pretty reasonable in price to make. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Lasagna (No noodles)

Ingredients:

1 lb hamburger

2 eggs

1 jar GF spaghetti sauce

1 cup cottage cheese

1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning (check for gluten)

1) Brown hamburger in a skillet. Let it cool.

2) Mix the eggs and spaghetti sauce until well blended in a bowl. Add the hamburger.

5) Spread evenly over hamburger mixture.
