Mexican Lasagna
1 lb of lean ground beef
1-1/2 cup of shredded cheese (either cheddar or Mexican blend)
1 cup of diced tomatoes
1 cup of cottage cheese
1/4 cup of diced jalapeno peppers
1/2 cup of diced green onions
chili powder, to taste (usually a couple of shakes)
2 cloves of diced garlic
9 - 6" corn tortillas
1 cup of taco sauce
Brown the ground beef in a skillet and put it aside to cool, then mix it with the 1 cup of the shredded cheese (save the rest for later), tomatoes, cottage cheese, jalapenos, garlic, green onions, and chili powder.
Coat an 11" x 7" baking pan with cooking spray. Place 3 tortillas in the pan and cover with half the meet / cheese / veggie filling. Layer 3 more tortillas on top and cover with the last half of the filling. Put the last 3 tortillas on top, pour the taco sauce on top, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese that was saved earlier.
Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.

I cut it into 10 equal-sized pieces after it’s cooked which breaks down to (per serving):

I eat half of it for my first supper, then the other half about 3 hours later. The original recipe was from Mens Health, but it only called for 1/2 lb of ground beef and a shit load of chili powder.

Why bulk?? 'CAUSE!! I can’t believe there has been so much posts about that.[/quote]
Well, what do you expect when skinny newbs listen to skinny personal trainers who hate big muscles? I really think some of these guys think they can get really big by eating nothing but chicken breasts and rolled oats all day long forever.
Oh well. I guess anyone who got big, including you, did it by accident.

I actually think this is part of the reason why there is debate on this topic and usually end up with total annihilation of the OP. Most newbies found T-Nation and start reading articles like the one above by CT on “Bulking”. We get interested and read some more articles. Eventually, most articles are read or skimmed through, so we go over to the “bodybuilding” forum to get more info. Only to realize, the concept is very different than the articles we read. Not the training part, but the nutrition part and how it’s not that important “to keep your abs” while bulking.
I admit I had similar questions when I first came to this forum, but was too afraid to ask the questions. After reading through posts and seeing “how the biggest became the biggest” I slowly began to realize what true bodybuilding is all about. The articles in T-Nation are geared towards the general public not interested in bodybuilding, but in getting in shape. True bodybuilding appears to require a much higher level of committment.
