Our Favorite Lasagna
based on Pioneer Woman's Best Lasagna Ever
Ingredients
2 packages sliced Mozzarella cheese
1 box oven ready noodles
Set these aside.
2 lbs ground beef
1 tbsp minced garlic
Cook these together until meat is browned. Drain.
Add:
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1 can Hunts spaghetti sauce
2 - 6oz cans tomato paste
¼ cup sugar
or
28oz can diced tomatoes
2 - 6oz cans tomato paste
1/3 cup spaghetti seasoning
1 tsp salt
¼ cup sugar
Mix thoroughly and simmer uncovered 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a separate bowl mix:
3 cups of cottage cheese
2 beaten eggs
½ cup Parmesan cheese (canned is fine).
Layer in 9x13 pan a small amount of beef mixture, then a layer of oven ready noodles, a layer of cottage cheese mixtures, slices of mozzarella cheese and then a good layer of the beef mixture again. Repeat layers, ending with beef mixture. Top with Parmesan cheese and bake in oven as noodles package directs. About 5 minutes before done, top with more slices of mozzarella cheese.
Cool 15 minutes to set.
We have also used Pioneer Woman's actual recipe, The Best Lasagna ever , minus the sausage. I like the sausage but my children do not. There's no use in wasting money on it.
