Easy Cheesy Lasagna

Easy Cheesy Lasagna

This is a great recipe for young kids to help make. It’s so simple, even my five-year-old has made it.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large can/jar of spaghetti sauce
  • 16 ounces cottage cheese
  • 8 ounces shredded mozarella cheese
  • 6 lasagna noodles
  • Grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and drain the grease.
  3. Spoon one cup of the spaghetti sauce across the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish.
  4. Mix the remaining spaghetti sauce into the beef and heat the mixture thoroughly over medium heat.
  5. Place two lasagna noodles (uncooked) over the sauce layer in the casserole dish.
  6. Layer the rest of the ingredients in this order:
    • 1/3 of the beef mixture.
    • 1/2 the cottage cheese
    • 1/3 of the mozzarella
    • 2 lasagna noodles
    • 1/3 of the beef mixture
    • The rest of the cottage cheese
    • 1/3 of the mozarella
    • 2 lasagna noodles
    • The rest of the beef mixture
    • The remaining mozzarella
  7. (optional) Sprinkle some grated Parmesan over the last layer of mozarella
  8. Cover the dish with a lid or foil and bake for 1 hour.
  9. Remove from oven and let it sit covered for 15 minutes before serving.

Serves 4-6 (depending on the appetite!)
