In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

Shape the mixture into small patties, roughly the size of the pickle slices. You should get about 10-12 mini patties.

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through to your desired doneness.

If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt the cheese.

Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until it begins to brown, breaking it up as you cook. Add the onion and garlic. Cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Drain the excess fat.


Step 2: Add the tomato sauce, water, italian seasoning, salt and pepper to the meat mixture and set aside. Taste and add more salt and/or pepper to taste.


Step 3: Set aside 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella and 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese. This will be for topping at the end. In a large bowl mix together the ricotto, cottage cheese, eggs, and the remainder of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
Step 4: Spray your 6 to 8 quart crockpot with cooking spray. Add some of the sauce and meat mixture to the bottom. Add a layer of uncooked lasagna noodles.

Place your chicken tenders in a shallow dish or bowl and pour in the pickle brine. Cover and place in fridge for 2 hours.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spray a large oven-safe cooling rack with non-stick spray and place it over an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet.
In one dish, combine the flour and baking powder. In a second dish whisk the eggs. In a third dish, combine the panko bread crumbs, dried dill, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Begin by dipping two chicken tenders at a time into the flour, ensuring they are evenly coated. Next, dip them into the whisked eggs. Finally, coat them in the panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well. Shake off any excess coating.
Place the coated chicken tenders on the rack, ensuring there is space between each tender for even cooking.
Place in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning half way and you want the tenders to be golden brown.
