Sloppy Joes

Jan Domshy tells us via the Internet that, like so many of us, she counts on ground beef in the freezer for quick, hearty skillet suppers like these saucy sandwiches. "I had to make up a quick batch when I had to feed a bunch of hungry guys pronto after we poured concrete!" she says. "It is ready really fast." She improvises, too, adding canned beans or chili sauce from the pantry to accommodate a crowd.

Kimberley's Lasagna

When I was around 20 years old I thought, "I have never made lasagna. I think I will try it and see how it turns out." Initially I followed the recipe on the box and took out a few things they suggested and added my own. Over time, I have just come up with my own recipe, and even last year I tweaked it again. All of my friends and family just rave about how good my lasagna is for some reason, so I guess they must like it. They usually ask me to make it at family get-togethers and I made it recently for my uncle who had never tried it before and he loves it. So I guess now it has just become a family staple. I usually serve it with some kind of salad, usually Caesar.
