Dandelion Casserole


It seems like a lot of greens but they cook down to almost nothing.and if you want you can replace the dandelion with spinach. I use hot sausage which gives this a real kick, but if you rather go for mild or just use chopped beef.

Steps


Blanch greens for 3 minutes and set aside.
Brown meats , onion and garlic , add bread crumbs , parsley , dried herbs , salt , pepper , egg , and milk.
Squeeze dandelion greens of all moisture.
In a buttered casserole alternate layers of dandelions , pasta , crumbled browned meat mixture and tomato sauce.
Top with cheese and bake 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
Garnish with hot pepper flakes and parmesan cheese and serve with crisp fresh bread.
