Now, I was wondering do you think that sauce would work as a good substitute for alfredo?

That lasagna sauce isn't really a cheese based one (alfredo-y)- so I don't know...I bet the Chicken Tetrazzini sauce would be a decent substitute....ahh - brainstorm.....work the Chicken Tetrazzini recipe into a lasagna too! (I bet that would be wicked!))

I did snag the Tetrazini recipe for future use, and just looked at it again, and that might work.

Someone had posted the better than Olive Garden one, but a lot of the time alfredo sauces have to be stirred constantly for a long time and I can’t stand at the stove that long, that’s why I was looking for alternatives.

I was planning to cook up pork loins today too, must be that kind of day/week! lol

Here's one we tried last week and really liked.


Beefy Spanish Rice 

1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 teaspoon celery powder
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Cook rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomatoes, seasonings and rice. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350°: for 50-55 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.




I used 1 15 oz can of stewed tomatoes with chilies and spices and a can of rotel. I didn't realize when I started that I needed a bigger can of tomatoes so had to ad lib, worked fine. the only thing I would do different next time is instead of putting the cheese on top and returning to the oven, I would just remove from the oven add stir in the cheese, replace cover and let sit a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
