Lasagna

Ingredients:
2 lbs to 3lbs ground beef
4 cloves of garlic
2 8oz cans tomato sauce
1 6oz can tomato paste
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 package of 8oz package of wide lasagna noodles
1 12oz container of cottage cheese
8 oz Swiss cheese; shredded
4 oz mozzarella cheese; shredded


Brown beef and garlic in large skillet.

When beef is no longer pink add tomato paste, salt, pepper, oregano and tomato sauce. Mix. Let simmer for 20 minuets.


In stock pot boil water with recommended salt amount on pasta box.

When noodles are soft, drain. In 9x13 pan place one layer or noodles. I can fit four the long way and then one on a short side. Divide ground beef into three even sections in pan.

Layer one section of the beef on top of the first layer of noodles.

Divide cottage cheese in three sections. Drop spoonfuls of one section of cottage cheese on ground beef. Divide Swiss and mozzarella cheeses into three sections. Sprinkle one section of Swiss and one section of mozzarella cheese on top of cottage cheese.

Repeat noodle layer, ground beef layer, cottage cheese layer, cheeses layer twice.


Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes.

Note: This lasagna is always better the next day when reheated. The first day it will fall apart on your plate. The next day you will be able to get an actual square piece out of the pan.
