Easy Cheesy Lasagna
Easy Lasagna for Busy Weeknight Dinners
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Daisy Cottage Cheese
- 1 pound Lean Ground Beef
- 2 24-25oz jars Prepared Marinara Sauce
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dried Basil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 3 1/2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 12 No-Boil Lasagna noodles
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Drain the cottage cheese in a fine mesh strainer. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Add the prepared pasta sauce; set aside. In a medium bowl mix the beaten eggs, drained cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and 1 1/2 cup of Mozzarella cheese. Starting with the sauce, layer the sauce, noodles, and cheese mixture in a 9x13 inch baking dish. (Noodles will not completely cover sauce – they swell as they cook.) Repeat the layers twice. Slightly press the noodles down into the sauce and then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until brown and bubbly. Let the lasagna stand for 15 minutes before serving to aid in slicing. *There are several brands of no-boil lasagna noodles, varying in size. Use enough noodles to make 3 layers.
