What you need:
- 1 lb hamburger
- 1 jar or large can of spaghetti sauce
- 1 package of lasagna noodles
- 16 oz tub of cottage cheese
- 4 cups of Mozzarella cheese (which equals 2, 1lb bags shredded)

What to do with it:
- Pre-cook the lasagna noodles by placing noodles in a baking dish. Cover the noodles with water and cover with tin foil. Bake in the oven for 25-30 min @ 350. (or until done)
- While lasagna noodles are cooking, cook hamburger in a large skillet (add seasonings to taste if you want, such as Season all, garlic salt, salt and pepper or any hamburger seasoning you have.) Add the spaghetti sauce and cottage cheese to the skillet and simmer over low heat until lasagna noodles are done.
- If the cheese isn't shredded, now is a good time to do it.
- Drain the water from the baking dish and place noodles elsewhere (cutting board, counter, or plate)
- Start layering in the baking dish that the noodles were cooked in. This is the order to layer the lasagna: 1) Sauce mixture, 2) cheese, 3) lasagna noodles.
- Continue with layers until all sauce mixture is used. Cheese will be on the very top.
- bake in the oven @ 350 for 15-20 min.

- We like this dish best served with corn and garlic bread.


*** there will be extra lasagna noodles. don't throw them away. Wrap the extra noodles in saran wrap, then place in a zip-loc bag (removing all air). The noodles can be frozen and used for the next time you want to make lasagna again.
