        cover chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 1 
        hour or until the chicken is tender. Do not overcook. Remove the chicken 
        from the broth to make dough, place the flour into a mixing bowl. Make 
        a well in the center of the flour and add the eggs and salt. Gradually 
        work eggs into the flour, adding only enough water to make a soft but 
        not sticky dough. Knead five minutes. Cover the dough with clean cloth

        thinly as possible into a 15" square and cut each square into 2" squares 
        with a sharp knife. Add potatoes and celery to the broth, simmer 25 min. 
        until vegetables are tender. Taste the broth and add more salt or pepper 
        if needed. Add the chicken pieces and bring to boil. Slide the squares 
        of dough into the broth, a few at a time, pushing them down gently. Cover 
        ans simmer 20 min. Ladle the pot pie into large soup bowls and garnish 
        with chopped parsley and the wedges of hard cooked eggs.

       1-1/2 lb. lean ground beef 
        23 oz spaghetti sauce 
        9 oz shredded mozzarella cheese 
        3 eggs 
        2-1/4 c cottage or ricotta cheese 
        1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 
        13 lasagna noodles 
        1-1/2 tsp. oregano 
        3/4 c hot water 
          
        Preheat the Dutch oven. 
        Brown the ground beef. When done remove the beef to a large mixing bowl. 
        Add the spaghetti sauce to the beef and mix well. In another bowl, add 
        the cottage or ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese (reserve 
        a few ounces for later), eggs, and oregano, and mix well.  
        
        Place the layers in the 
        oven in the following order: Break up four lasagna noodles into the bottom 
        of the oven. Spread about 1/3 of the meat mixture over the noodles. Spread 
        1/2 of the cheese mixture over the meat mixture. Break up five noodles 
        and place over the top of the preceding mixtures. Spread 1/2 of the remaining 
        meat mixture over the noodles. Spread the remaining cheese mixture over 
        the meat mixture. Break up the remaining noodles and place over the cheese 
        mixture. Spread the remaining meat mixture over the noodles. Pour the 
        hot water all around the edges of the oven. Place the lid on the oven 
        and bake one hour or until done. Check frequently.  
        
        Hints: This recipe works 
        well with charcoal (12 briquettes on bottom and 12 on top). Cooking time 
        can be reduced by pre-cooking and draining the lasagna noodles. Carole
