Ingredients

Sauce:

  • 1 lb. hamburger
  • garlic salt to taste
  • 1 16 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 1 12 oz. can tomato paste
  • 1 can tomato soup
  • 1-2 cups water depending on how thick/thin you like your sauce - I usually err on the side of thick
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. oregano
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • pepper to taste

Lasagna:

  • 8 lasagna noodles
  • 1 lb grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1 pint cottage cheese large or small curd
  • 4 oz. Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large skillet, season hamburger with garlic salt and cook over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat from skillet.
  3. Add remaining sauce ingredients to the hamburger and simmer 10 minutes or so.

  4. In a large saucepan, boil noodles until almost cooked (under cook them a little because they will continue to cook in the oven when baked).

  5. In your 9x13 pan, layer: Sauce (just a very thin layer), 4 Noodles, 1/2 of the sauce, Cottage Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese, 4 Noodles, Remaining sauce

  6. Remaining sauce

  7. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes until bubbly
