Lasagna

We're BACK!

Amy has actually been here the entire summer working at the Holiday Inn (cue Chingy feat Snoop Dogg song) but as you know, I went home for a while and just got back in time for summer school. Yay.

We got back into the groove of cooking and decided to make something we could cook once and reheat for the rest of the week. Did I mention that since it's summer we are even more lazy than usual?

Here's the lasagna we made. . .it's the best!

Boil your noodles and let them dry for a few minutes. Ignore the green onion in the sink. Thanks.

Brown 2 lbs. of ground beef and add about 32oz. of spaghetti sauce.

Combine one medium size container of cottage cheese and almost an entire medium size bag of mozzarella cheese. Save some cheese for the top. Amy made the funny commment that we really do buy almost everything Great Value brand. Why spend more? haha

Mix it up real good.

Now start layering. The order is: noodles, meat/sauce, cheese. Repeat until you have at least 3 layers or run out of ingredients.

Here's where we went off-roading and left the recipe behind. You see, we ran out of meat, but still had sphaghetti sauce in the jar, noodles and cheese left. So we did a final layer of noodles, plain sauce and covered it with cheese. We thought we were pretty smart.

Bake for about 50 min. at 350. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes or when you cut it it will look more like sphagetti than lasagna. haha Enjoy!
