I don't like throwing food away. So after coming home today from Belgium I collected all the leftovers and decided to make a lasagna with them. Using the Big Green Egg every step of the way.
Total Freestyle.
This is what I managed to find in the house. Pasta leafs, ground beef, garlic, paprika, onions, corn, open can of tomato sauce, chorizo sausage leftover and half a bag of grated cheese.
Lighting the Green egg is a pleasure. Every time!
Grilled the vegetables to give them a nice grill flavour. I put the chorizo to grill too.
Cut everything up and set aside for later
I put in the the convector plate because I want to to use the BGE as an oven. (not a grill)
The next part was a gamble. I put the meat with garlic and oil in a Dutch oven and put it on the BGE.
It worked beautifully and the meat was cooked in no time. I added the sauce and vegetables.
Video...O yeah!
I got the sauce of the BGE and regulated the temp to be 180C. I started building the lasagna.
And it's ready to go on
40 minutes later!

You are quickly turning into a Green Egg Master! I'm the one in the house who always eats the left overs(the wife & kids always want something new), as I also hate wasting any food. I usually will grill any leftovers that's "grillable" b/c I feel I can give it a different flavor and curb the monotony of eating the same thing. Plus, it gives me a good reason to fire up the grill. I'm going to try your lasagna approach. I've never thought of that before. Great idea.

Oh man! That looks so good. Never would have thought of lasagna on the grill. I grilled out steak and chicken on the Weber today and it was very good, but didn't look quite as good as your steaks. I will keep working on it. Think I left them on just a little too long.

Excellent.. Sometimes the leftover meals are the best.. creating something from next to nothing always makes it taste better.. Using herbs and spices can change the taste of the same leftovers so 2 meals for the work of one :)

Looks awesome. I bbq a lot myself, but decided to buy a gas bbq and a smoker. Seen your Posts on the green egg and the meat looks great! But can you use the egg Also for smoking a ribb for 6 hours?

I don't think it's used like a smoker. (not sure) It is possible to make beautiful ribs or pulled pork in a EGG. The temperature can be very stable for 8-10 hours straight.

Damn, you can put together a better "freestyle" meal than I can do with a whole day of preparation. Can't decide if your chef skills or just the power of the mighty Green Egg.
I'm inspired for dinner in a half hour, gotta cook something good now.
