I just found this recipe on the internet and it looks fantastic. French bread slices replace the noodles in this lasagna like dish. Definitely on my priority list to try. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
1/3 cup chopped onion |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
salt and pepper (to taste) |
14 slices french bread, sliced 1/2 inch thick |
4 large tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 teaspoon dried parsley |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons flour |
1 1/2 cups milk |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. In a skillet, brown lightly salted and peppered ground beef, onion and garlic; drain and set aside.
2. Toast bread and line the bottom of an ungreased 13 x 9 baking dish with 10 slices.
3. Top with half of the meat mixture and half of the tomatoes.
4. Combine seasonings and sprinkle half over tomatoes.
5. Drizzle with 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil.
6. Crumble remaining bread over top.
7. Repeat layers of meat, tomatoes, seasonings and oil.
8. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
9. Stir in flour.
10. Gradually stir in milk and bring to a boil.
11. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly, about 2 minutes.
