Ingredients

2 large eggs

1 lb ground beef

1 tsp minced garlic

½ lb sweet Italian sausage

48 oz. spaghetti sauce (your favourite sauce)

3 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

15 oz. ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)

3/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

2 tsp dried parsley or 4 tablespoons freshly snipped

12 lasagna noodles

¼ c. water

¼ tsp ground pepper

¼ tsp salt

How to make Easy Lasagna

Step 1: Cook the ground beef and sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain the excess grease when done and discard.

Step 2: To the skillet, add the minced garlic and spaghetti sauce, then let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Combine the ricotta, 2 cups of the mozzarella cheese, eggs, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt, and ground black pepper in a large bowl until well blended.

Step 4: Using cooking spray, grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. On the bottom of the pan, spread 3/4 cup of the sauce and top with 3 uncooked lasagna noodles. Over the noodles, add ⅓ of the cheese mixture and ¼ of the sauce. Create another layer of noodles, cheese, sauce, noodles, cheese, and sauce (in order). For the last layer, add 3 more layers on top, then top with the rest of the sauce followed by the last 1 cup of mozzarella and Parmesan.

NOTE: Pour half a cup of water to the edges of the pan if the sauce turned out thick.

Step 5: Grease with cooking spray a sheet of aluminium foil. Tent the pan with it, greased-side-down.

Step 6: Place the lasagna in a preheated 350 degrees F oven and bake for about 50 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for another 10 minutes.

Step 7: Take the lasagna out of the oven when done and allow it to stand for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

2 tablespoons minced garlic

One 12-ounce bottle of amber beer

6 cups Shrimp Stock

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 pound gumbo crabs (about 2)

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon Emeril’s Original Essence

2 cups shucked oysters with their liquor

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/2 cup chopped tender green onion tops

White Rice, for serving

DIRECTIONS
Place an 8-quart stockpot over medium heat, and add the oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 5 minutes, then add the flour to the pot. Stir the oil and flour together with a wooden spoon to form a roux. Lower the heat to medium low and continue to stir the roux for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the color of milk chocolate. Add the onions, bell peppers, and celery to the roux and stir to blend. Stir the vegetables for 5 minutes, then add the garlic. Cook the garlic for 30 seconds before adding the beer and Shrimp Stock to the pot. Season the gumbo with thyme, bay leaves, gumbo crabs, Worcestershire, salt, and cayenne. Bring the gumbo to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer. Continue to simmer the gumbo for 1 hour, skimming the foam and any oil that rises to the surface.

Season both the shrimp and the catfish with 1 1/2 teaspoons Essence. Stir the shrimp and fish into the gumbo and cook for 2 minutes. Add the oysters to the pot and cook, stirring often, for an additional 5 minutes. Taste the gumbo and season if necessary.

INGREDIENTS :

12 pieces chicken legs and wings
Cooking oil (I used peanut oil)
Flour (2 parts)
Cornstarch (1 part)
2 beaten eggs
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Paprika
Poultry seasoning
Cajun seasoning of your choice
Cayenne pepper

For me, there are a few things you must do to get flavorful crispy golden brown well-done chicken…..
1. You need to season the chicken well
2. You need to coat the chicken with something……eggs, buttermilk or mustard
3. The oil needs to be hot enough but not too hot as to brown the chicken too much before it cooks through internally.
4. Do not overcrowd the pan

Directions :

Season chicken with spices, (use your judgment as to how much) place in a resealable plastic bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours

Preheat heavy pot/pan to med-high, add cooking oil, and bring to about 350°

Remove chicken from fridge about 20 minutes before cooking

Pour the beaten eggs into the bag over the chicken, reseal and shake until well coated

Mix flour and cornstarch (2 parts flour 1 part cornstarch)
Add chicken to the flour and shake until each piece is well coated.
Place chicken carefully into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot/pan
Cook 15-17 minutes until golden brown and crispy
Drain on a wire rack or paper towels
Enjoy!

Cooking Tips:

Cajun Trinity: You may have come across recipes calling for this, and wonder what it is. It’s simply three ingredients used to start many Cajun dishes ; bell pepper, onions, and celery. These give dishes a wonderful flavor and aroma.

Making a roux: Making a roux is time consuming and needs to be watched carefully! It can burn easily, so stir often. If it burns, you have to throw it out and start all over again.
