PlZZA WHEELS 1 large egg, beaten
1 1/4lbs lean ground beef
Seasonings to taste (Pizza Seasoning, garlic powder, dehydrated onion flakes, red pepper flakes)
1/4 c. of starch (such as bread crumbs, crackers, crushed sugar-free cereal,... I used instant mashed potatoes)
1 small can of tomato sauce
Hormel Turkey Pepperoni
Hormel Real Bacon Pieces
Kraft Shredded Fat-Free Mozzerella Cheese
Beat egg, and fold in ground beef with seasoning, add 1/4 c. instant mashed potatoes or other starch. Make 5 equal size balls of ground beef and then flatten the middle and build up the sides so they are twice the height of the center... similiar to a wall around it or a pie crust.
Bake these for 20 minutes in a 350 degree, take them out of the oven and then season the tomato sauce with pizza seasoning and red pepper flakes and pour some in each cavity of the burger-wheels.
Cut the pepperonis into smaller pieces and place them on top of the sauce, add the bacon bits and cover them in Fatfree Mozzerella Cheese. Bake these for another 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the side at the bottom comes out with clear juices.
Everyone in my family thought they were delicious! Spaghetti Squash Lasagna
1 Medium spaghetti squash (2.5 lbs)
1 lb of ground sweet Italian sausage (turkey or pork)
1 1/2 cups of sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium red pepper, chopped
1/2 of a medium onion, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
1 large jar of favorite prepared spaghetti sauce
1 package of shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup of shredded or grated fresh parmesan cheese
Pierce the whole spaghetti squash with a knife in several places, place it on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Allow the squash to cool, then cut in half and scoop out the seeds and discard, then using a fork, pull the spaghetti-like flesh from the walls of the squash and set aside in a bowl.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, sauté the sausage, mushrooms, pepper, onion and garlic over medium-high heat until the sausage is no longer pink--ensuring you break up the sausage throughout. Drain off any fat.
Coat your lasagna pan with some sort of non-stick spray or lightly rub it with olive oil. Spread half of the squash in the dish, add half of the sausage mixture, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of the Italian seasoning. Top with half of your jar of sauce and half of the bag of mozzarella cheese. Repeat with a second layer like this, except add the parmesan with the mozzarella on top. Bake for 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
