Serve loaf hot in thick slices with remaining sauce. Also makes great sandwiches. Servings: 8

2 1/4 pounds lean ground beef

1/3 cup instant minced onion

3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

4 teaspoons salt

3/8 teaspoon red pepper — crushed

1 tablespoon oregano

3 tablespoons parsley flakes

18 ounces tomato paste — 3 (6-oz) cans

24 ounces tomato sauce — 3 (8-oz) cans

2 1/4 cups hot water

3 large eggs — beaten

3 pounds cream style cottage cheese

1 pound lasagna noodles — cooked, (18 noodles)

12 ounces processed cheddar cheese — shredded

3/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Line four 8×8-inch baking pans with heat-resistant freezer wrap. Allow enough extra wrap to fold over top. Use one pan for each six servings or one-fourth of the recipe. Do not line pans for food to be served without freezing.

Crumble beef; cook until lightly browned. Stir in onion. Cook until onion is tender. Drain off fat. Stir in seasonings, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. In another bowl, blend eggs with cottage cheese. In each pan, spread a layer of meat mixture (about 3/4 cup). Add a layer each of noodles (2 1/4), meat mixture (about 3/4 cup), cottage cheese mixture (about 3/4 cup), processed cheese (1/3 cup), and parmesan cheese (1= 1/2 tablespoons). Repeat layers until all ingredients are used. Pack food

tightly to avoid air pockets.

TO SERVE WITHOUT FREEZING Preheat oven to 400=B0 F. (hot). Bake 30 minutes or until sauce bubbles at edges.

TO FREEZE Cool for 30 minutes at room temperature. Complete wrapping by pulling paper up over top of food. Put edges of wrap together and fold several times so paper lies directly on top of food. Fold ends of freezer wrap over the top and seal with freezer tape. Label with name of food, date of freezing, and last date the food should be used for best eating quality (about 6 months). Freeze for 10-12 hours before removing packages from the pans.

TO HEAT FROZEN FOOD Preheat oven to 400=B0 F. (hot). Remove freezer wrap. Place food in baking pan. Bake 1 1/4 hours or until sauce bubbles at edges and center is hot.

VARIATION Italian Lasagna — Use ricotta cheese in place of cottage cheese and mozarella cheese in place of processed cheddar cheese.

2 lb Stewing beef, cut into 1-2″

Cubes 1 tb Salt

If you are using fresh galingal, peel and coursely chop it and set it aside. If you are using dried galingal, combine it in a cut with 4 tablespoons of water. If you are using fresh lemon grass, cut of the straw-like top, leaving about 6″ of the bottom. lightly crush the very bottom and set it aside. If you are using dried lemon grass, put it into the water along with the galingal. Crumble and break the dried red chillies and cinnamon into enough water to cobver and add them to the dried galingal and dried lemon grass if you are using them. Also put in the cloves. Soak the spices for 30 mins. Cut the red pepper coarsely inot dice, discarding all the seeds. Peel and coarsely chop the shallots/onions, ginger and garlic. In an electric blender, combine the soaked spices and their liquid, the frsh galingal (if you are using it), the chopped red pepper, shallots, ginger and garlic. Blend until smooth. Into a wide, preferably non-stick pan put the paste from the blender, the fresh lemon grass (if using), the curry leaves and kaffir lime leaves (or lemon rind). Stir the coconut milk well until smooth and pour that in as well. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat to medium and cook the sauce for 15 mins, stirring now and then to prevent curdling. Put in the meat and salt and bring to the boil again. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook, uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat up to medium-high and continue to cook, stirring now and then for a further 30 mins or until the sauce becomes thick and brown and the meat tender. This is now called KALIYO DAGING, if you continue to cook until the sauce dissappears its called RENDANG DAGING.
