Lasagna

This is my favorite way to have lasagna. It freezes well and even with the two of us we are happy to eat the leftovers for lunches.

1/2lb browned 80/20 ground beef
14.5 oz can diced garlic and onion tomatoes
4oz tomato sauce (or other veggie puree like squash)
season to taste (these amounts are just guesses)
1/2t garlic powder
1/2t salt
1/2t pepper
1/2t onion powder
1t oregano
2t parsley
1 box whole wheat lasagna noodles
approximately 2 cups cheddar cheese and 2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 lb cottage cheese, small curd


Brown 1lb of hamburger  letting half of it cool and store in the fridge for another dinner.
Mix 1/2lb browned ground beef with diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and seasonings.
pour a little of the tomato mixture on the bottom of a 2.75qt glass Pyrex rectangle. Layer on 3 or 4 uncooked noodles, breaking to make them fit. Scoop on a nice even layer on cottage cheese then a layer of the beef tomato sauce then the cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Continue to layer like this until you have three layers of noodles topped with sauce and cheese.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 90 minutes at 350'
Remove the foil and broil for about 2 minutes to get the top cheese lightly browned.
Allow it to cool for 10 -15 minutes if you want it to stay in a nice pretty stack when you try and put it on your plate.
