Mom's Lasagna
This is a combination of my mom's lasagna and Logan's mom's lasagna to make the most epic lasagna ever! It is the definition of comfort food at it's finest!
Equipment
- 9x13 Pan
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 green pepper chopped
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 jar 28oz spaghetti sauce option: sub the sauce with 1 (15oz) can tomato sauce and 1 (28oz) petite diced tomatoes (drained)
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 3 tsp chili powder
- 1 package oven ready lasagna noodles
- 1 22 oz container of cottage cheese
- 1-2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°
- Chop the onion and green pepper and fry it with the ground beef until the beef is cooked through and browned. Drain the grease off at this point if you are using a higher fat beef.
- Add the large jar of pasta sauce (or the tomato sauce + diced tomatoes) and all of the spices. Let simmer for about 20-30 minutes.
- Spray a 9x13" pan oil
Start to layer your lasagna as follows:
- Meat sauce
- Oven ready lasagna noodles
- Cottage cheese
- Mozzarella cheese
- Meat sauce
- Oven ready lasagna noodles
- Cottage cheese
- Mozzarella cheese
- Oven ready lasagna noodles
- Meat Sauce
- Mozzarella
- You really can't mess this up - just make sure you end with meat sauce and mozzarella cheese on the top. Feel free to sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on the very top if you want. (sometimes I do this.) Be sparing with the layers, so you can make all of them!
- Bake for 40 minutes
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 20 minutes before cutting into it to eat!
