Easy Lasagna

When one gets home from work, putting together a real dish of lasagna does not sound appealing. But sometimes one just gets in the mood for the flavors. I (that is Sarah) found this recipe online, but tweaked almost all of the measurements of the ingredients. Enjoy!

Ingredients


8 oz noodles (half a box)
2 tblsp butter
¼ cup Parmesan cheese
2 eggs beaten

1 lb ground beef
½ cup chopped green pepper
½ cup chopped onion
Crushed Garlic cloves to taste
10-16 oz tomato sauce
Oregano to taste

1 ½ - 2 cups cottage cheese (drained)
Mozzarella cheese

Directions


1. Cook noodles – Drain.
2. Transfer noodles to warm saucepan and stir in butter, Parmesan, and eggs.
3. Cook meat w/ onions, pepper and garlic – Drain.
4. Stir in tomato sauce and oregano – heat through.
5. Line a 9 inch pie dish with the noodles – pushing it up the sides. (Squish the noodles with a spatula so they stick to the sides and bottom.)
6. Cover the noodles (up the sides as well) with the cottage cheese.
7. Cover the cheese with the beef.
8. Spread the Mozzarella over the beef w/ a desired amount.
9. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 min or until bubbly and heated through.
10. Let sit for a few minutes and then cut into wedges

Serves 6-8 (depending on how hungry you are).

NOTE: This also is a great freezable recipe. Do everything up to step 7. Let the dish cool and then wrap and put into the freezer. When you want the meal fully defrost and then cook in the oven to the above specifications.

DOUBLE NOTE: To drain the cottage cheese I (Sarah) take a cup sized measuring cup and push the bottom side into the container of cottage cheese while holding it upside down over the sink. I know...real ingenious.
