Huh... that's a pediatric lasagna... no way a lasasgna with 1 1/2
pounds of meat will feed eight hungry adults... must be a lasagna for
five year olds. I've made lasagnas with five pounds of meat, two
pounds of lasagna noodles, lots of riccota and mozz, plus sauce to
choke a horse and was demolished by eight adults. I wouldn't dirty
any pots or light my oven for your teensy babies r us lasagna. One
pound of ground beef is two skimpy burgers... I grill 12 ounce burgers
and most adults eat two... my six house cats can easily polish off a
12 oz burger and be looking for another. After a days yard work I can
polish of your entire lasgna myself, easily, as an appetizer. Don't
you realize that you need to brown that meat and drain the fat before
adding it to lasagna, by then there's perhaps 2 ounces of meat per
serving... a Gerber's infant portion.

Actually it's the 'cooking cream' that wierded me out a bit. I'm
possibly just not familiar with it but it seemed most odd.

At 1.5lbs meat, this might be a little small for 8 adults but if it
were paired nicely with lots of garlic bread and some veggies, it would
do fine.

Right, there's also cheese, and there's a style of cooking that treats
meat as a condiment, not the entree, try measuring the meat in
"spaghetti and meat sauce" in any restaurant in town.

I thought the criticism was going to be a "pedestrian" lasagna, not
pediatric, on account of pretty much all pre-prepared ingredients.

We actually cook the 'meat as a condiment' sort more often than not.
Cholestrol issues drive it.

I don't diss this recipe, I am however unfamiliar with the cream cheese
based 'cooking cream'. Might be something sourced outside of any place
I have lived?

I don't have any idea either, but presumably something involving cream
cheese, that still needs to be added to "shredded italian blend" and
provolone, sounds like a poor man's ricotta and pretty ghastly.

And yet, I can imagine something like that working, with more care, a
quick and easy (ha!) lasagna utilizing cream cheese. Or I could be
mistaken. I suppose if I perused the Kraft web site I might see
something. Maybe later.

Ah ok. It didnt catch my interest. Although I'm always curious about
'something new', I'm mostly a scratch cook so premade sauces and such
don't tend to excite me.

Lasagna is not one of my usual ones because school lunches ruined
Charlotte about them. She refuses to eat it even if she helps make it,
so pointless here to make often. Not making it often means I have no
real refined recipe for it so tend to look at them when posted.

Oh, just in case wondering, Charlotte is *not* a picky eater at all.
She has a small handful of things (other than too spicy-hot) she
doesn't like and thats one of the few. It's like I don't cook spinach
when Don's home because he can't stand the smell of it. Doesn't mean we
don't cook spinach all the time, just not when he's home.

I'd use at least a pound of sausage to go with the ground beast. But
yes, if it's a "family gathering" chances are the lasagna isn't the only
food on the table. Sheldon cooks like he's feeding an army (or the Navy
LOL). Most people don't do that. I'm going out on a limb here but I
don't believe most people eat an entire pan of lasagna by themselves,
either.

Nope, but he loves to exaggurate so we just grin and let him ramble.
Some of his rambles can be pretty amusing (and some are less so and I
skip those).

Basically Don and I both have cholestrol issues which bodes not well
for Charlotte later in life if not worked out in diet. We eat
everything normal folks do, but in moderation so I didn't key off on
the meat amount as anything special.

The majority of the meat we eat is either seafood based, chicken, less
fatty cuts of pork, then beef and duck (roughly in that order).

The cholestrol issues also tend to drive not using that many pre-made
things but of course, we do have some. Like last week we had a super
double up to 2$ coupon day at Harris Teeters (a fairly upscale grocery
chain but downscale of the prices at Trader Joes or Whole Foods). I
surveyed my coupons and selected out several and got a stash of quick
things for when I'm out of home made. Jarred alfredo sauces, a cheesy
tomato one and so on for about 25cents a jar after the coupons. I don't
make yogurt either, we buy that.

I also replaced Don's hamburger helper type boxes. That's an odd one
based on when I was at sea so much or my final tour back here where I
had 12 hour shifts. He'd make them up for him and Charlotte. The 2
boxes left expired 2010 (a year after I retired from the Navy)....
They were on sale at 2/3$ and I had a 1$ coupon that doubled so got him
2 boxes for .50 each.

Because we don't make that much beef or fatty pork, I buy gravy packets
in both types for use with meals when it calls for that. I also buy
saltines as they are a pain in the ass to make (like pasta, not worth
the trouble).

I'll post a recipe set later for my weekend cookery just in case it
seems fun to read what others are doing.

A couple of weeks ago my wife made lasagna for when my daughter was
coming for the weekend and there would be 6 of us for dinner. She made
it the day before.

Ricotta cheese alone was 4#. plus sausage, ground beef, sauce, other
cheeses too. When I was putting it away it was hefty so I stopped at
the scale along the way. Taking into allowance the pan and baking
sheet, the ingredients weighed 20 pounds!

For dinner, we ate less than a third of it. None went to waste though.
Daughter took some home, grandson took some home, I took plenty to
share at work, we had another two nights dinner. Even though there was
6 of us for dinner, at least 11 of us had one or more meals from it.

Any time I cook something that is no big deal to cook extra I do,
soups, stews, caseroles are prime suspects... I would never bother to
cook lasagna for just one serving, doesn't even make sense

The limb cracks in warning. Jill,70' above ground, freezes in terror.
The limb breaks off. Jill screams while falling to her death.
Luckily 'Lasagna Man' (secretly Gary in a superhero lasagna costume)
shows up, just in the nick of time, to catch and save her.

"My hero," she says with much relief.

"Just know that I, Lasagna Man, do eat an entire 13X9 pan of lasagna
each and every time I make it. I will have it for every meal and
snack until it's gone from my sight. Salad and garlic bread too."

;-D

LOL but not in one sitting, right? A 13X9 pan doesn't equal a single
serving in my world.

When I make lasagna I'll have a couple of servings, the rest goes into
the freezer. Yes, lasagna freezes and reheats quite well.
