2 Slow Cooker Caribbean Chicken 8 hours on low 2 large boneless chicken breasts water 3/4 cup(s) BBQ sauce 20 oz. can(s) pineapple chunks 1 red bell pepper(s) 1 orange bell pepper(s) brown rice 1.

Spinach Lasagna Skillet Dinner ACTIVE TIME 20 minutes 20 minutes 1 lb(s) ground beef white onion(s) garlic powder 8 oz. fresh spinach 15 oz. can(s) diced tomatoes 15 oz. can(s) tomato sauce 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning 2 cup(s) chicken broth 8 pieces lasagna noodles cottage cheese grated parmesan cheese Garnish: fresh parsley 1. Dice onion. Brown the ground beef with the diced onion and garlic powder in a large skillet with tight fitting lid. Drain and return to the skillet. 2. Add the fresh spinach over top of the browned ground beef, stir over medium heat for a few minutes while the spinach melts. Once the spinach is all melted in, stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning and some salt and pepper. Bring to bubbling. Add in the chicken broth and bring to bubbling again. 3. Break lasagna noodles into pieces. Add the broken lasagna noodles to the skillet and sink them into the bubbling sauce. Be sure that as much of the lasagna noodle as possible is covered by the sauce so that it cooks evenly. A tight fitting lid will help the steam baste the noodles on the top too. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until noodles are cooked al dente. 4. Remove from the heat and add the dollops of cottage cheese and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese. Garnish with parsley on top if desired. 5. Prepare fresh veggies. 6. Serve Spinach Lasagna Skillet with a side of fresh veggies DollarMealPlan.com Page 2
