Less-Meat Polenta Lasagna for a Crowd

Less-Meat Polenta Lasagna for a Crowd

This entire 8 serving meal uses only 1lb of ground beef. Green lentils are used to bulk up the rich Bolognese sauce, and polenta is used in place of traditional lasagna noodles. Cheesy and decadent, this dish is definitely a dinner party hit.

A sweet and savory Asian inspired dish, this meal is super filling and delicious. It uses 1lb of lean ground beef for 6 servings, reducing meat consumption and cost by adding lentils to the meat. If you don't like lentils that much, you should still give this a try! The lentils really blend in with the meat.

I love casseroles, and this one tastes just like broccoli cheddar soup, but way more filling.
