1 15 oz can tomato sauce 1 can sliced potatoes drained
1 can of kidney beans rinsed 1 small can sliced mushrooms drained
1 pound hamburger browned 6 slices cooked bacon
1 tsp minced garlic

Brown the hamburger in your bean pot. Drain off excess fat and then mix in all other ingredients. Place lid on Bean Pot and microwave for 10 minutes.

I love to serve this with shredded cheddar cheese on top for a little more flavor! Such an easy and delicious meal!

Bean Pot Lasagna

1 box of lasagna noodles
1 large jar spaghetti sauce
1 16 oz cottage cheese
1 egg
1 pound hamburger/ Italian sausage

Place thawed meat in bean pot with the lid on and microwave for 2 minutes. Break up the meat and cover again. Microwave for 2-4 more minutes until browned. Drain off any excess fat.

Next break up the noodles and place them in the bean pot. Mix the egg in with the cottage cheese and then mix into the bean pot with the sauce. Add 1 cup of water and mix again.

Place lid on bean pot and microwave for 20 minutes stirring every 5. If it starts to look dry, add a little more water as the noodles tend to eat up the moisture.

I love this recipe because usually when I make lasagna the traditional way, it takes forever to layer, and it just falls apart when I try to cut it up. This way it is already "cut" and everyone loves it just as much!
