Lasagna

This is the BEST recipe for Lasagna that I have EVER made!

From the kitchen of my mother-in-law Connie!

Lasagna

Makes 8x11 pan

1 lb. ground beef
3 8-oz. cans tomato sauce
9-11 lasagna noodles
12-oz. lowfat Cottage Cheese
12 oz. grated Mild Cheese
8 oz. grated Mozzarella Cheese

Cook and crumble ground beef until cooked. Add chopped onion if desired. Drain grease. Add tomato sauce and simmer.In the meantime, cook lasagna noodles in pot of boiling water to desired doneness. Rinse in cold water and let stand in water until noodles are removed. Grate mild and mozzarella cheese into separate bowls.

Layer as follows:Layer of lasagna noodles across bottom of pan (3 noodles). Wipe excess water off noodles as you remove from pot. Add 1/3 hamburger sauce mix. Sprinkle 1/4-1/2 C cottage cheese on this, then sprinkle 1/3 of mild cheese, then 1/3 of mozzarella cheese. Add two more similar layers on top of first layer. Fit in extra noodles in middle layer (5). Cover with aluminum foil and heat for 30 minutes in 350 degree oven. May be stored in fridge or freezer until ready to heat. It will require at least 1 hour to heat cold lasagna--longer if frozen. Bake until heated through. Enjoy! Leftover lasagna is even better than the first day--if you happen to have leftovers
