Lasagna Made Easy

1 pk. lasagna noodles

To precook the the noddles in boiling water with 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. oil for about 5 minutes. The noddles will be plyable but not fully cooked. Drain off the water and set aside.

In a large saucepan brown 1 1/2 lb. ground beef with 1/4 cup chopped onion. Add 1 package spaghetti sauce mix, 2 tbsp. ketsup, 1 tsp. brown sugar, 1 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. pepper and 1 16oz. can tomato sauce.

In another small bowl mix 1 8oz. package sheddered mozzarella with 1 cup cottage cheese and 1 egg. Mix well.

In a cake pan (spray with vegetable spray) start layering ingredients. First a layer of the hamburger mixture, then cheese, then noodles. Ending with the top layer being cheese.

Bake at 350° for 1 hour.

Take out of oven and let stand for about 10, before cutting into serving sizes.

I like to serve this with a Orange jello salad.

If you want to make this easier, you may use a bottled speghetti sause instead of making your own. Adding a little brown sugar to it gives it a better taste.
