Who doesn't love piece of cheesy lasagna? This recipe comes from Grandma but for this version I added some of my own tweaks (I added mushrooms and am trying fire roasted diced tomatoes) and one from my mom (she said to dice up the green pepper and mix it into the cottage cheese). I once watched my brother Mike heat up some leftover lasagna and put ranch dressing over it, that is one tweak I won't be doing.
Ingredients:
2 lbs hamburger
2 cloves garlic
1 can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
1/2 mozzarella cheese
16 oz cottage cheese
1 green bell pepper
2 cans of mushrooms
salt
oregano
pepper
onion flakes
Brown hamburger with the garlic, onion flakes, salt, pepper and oregano
after meat is browned, add in mushrooms and cans of tomatoes and simmer for 20 minutes. I also add a couple teaspoons of sugar to the sauce to cut the acid
Dice up bell pepper
Grate cheese
Mix in the green pepper with the cottage cheese
boil 9 lasagna noodles, I just boiled them long enough to make them soft
In a 9x13 pan put a little sauce in the bottom and lay 3 noodles on top
add a layer of sauce
and then a layer of cottage cheese and green pepper mix, use 1/2 the cottage cheese mixture
add a layer of cheese
continue doing that for another layer, for the last layer just use sauce and cheese
looks good and almost ready to go in the oven
Bake at 375 for 45 minutes
Enjoy!
