LASAGNA MY MOST POPULAR RECIPE EVER

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle Prego Three Cheese Italian Tomato Sauce
  • 1 lb hamburger
  • 1 box lasagna noodles boiled per the package directions
  • 2 cups Cottage Cheese {I use 2% Darigold brand from Costco}
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Brown and drain your hamburger. {I use the lean hamburger from Costco.} I also sprinkle garlic salt on the hamburger while I brown it. 

  2. Add 1 bottle Prego Three cheese tomato sauce to the browned meat. Then, add about 1/2 cup of water to the bottle and shake it to get the remaining tomato sauce from it and pour into the hamburger. Simmer the sauce for a few minutes until the remainder of your ingredients are ready.

  3. Make your cheese mixture: 1 cup moz cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 cup parmesan cheese.

  4. After your noodles are boiled and drained, rinse them with cool water.
  5. Layer the bottom of the pan with 1/2 cup sauce mixture.
  6. Add a layer of lasagna noodles
  7. Add about 1/2 cup of cheese mixture and spread it the best you can across the noodles.
  8. Sprinkle the layer with moz cheese and repeat.

  9. When you finish, your top layer should be a layer of noodles and a thin layer of the sauce and top it generously with the remaining mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.

  10. Cook on 375 until it is hot and bubbly. I think I cooked it for about 40 minutes last time.
  11. And, here’s a hint. It’s better the second day!

Recipe Notes

If you want to make three pans like I do at a time, here is what that recipe looks like:

2 lbs ground beef browned, drained and seasoned with garlic salt

Prego {three cheese marinara} 3 bottles (mix with beef, I add a little bit of water to the bottles after I pour the sauce out to get the remaining sauce)

Cheese mixture:

48 ounces cottage cheese 2% fat (I buy the big one at Costco)

3 large eggs

2 tbsp garlic powder

1 cup parm cheese (shredded) really I just grab a handful

4 cupish mozzarella cheese shredded {divided}

Mix the cottage cheese, parm cheese, and eggs add 2 cups moz cheese.

Boil 2-3 packages of lasagna noodles (per package instructions)

Layer sauce, noodles, cheese mixture, sauce, noodles, cheese mixture…etc until two 9×13 deep pans are full. Then top generously with moz cheese and any remaining parm cheese if you have any.

(I use disposable deep pans.)

Cover with tin foil and bake 375 degrees for approx 30 min or until it bubbles and cheese is melted on top.
