Lasagna

Lasagna

3 lb ground beef
1 smoked beef sausage
1 lb mushrooms
1 onion chopped
1 big can of petite diced tomatoes
1 can of tomato paste
1 T of minced garlic
3 T Italian seasoning
salt and pepper
1 pkg of lasagna noodles
1 carton of cottage cheese
1 carton of Ricotta cheese
2 eggs - beaten
1 T parsley flakes
Mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Brown ground beef and sausage together and drain grease thoroughly.
Add garlic, seasonings and onion - cook until onion is done.
Add  diced tomatoes, paste, and mushrooms - cook on medium and stir until starts to bubble a little - then lower heat and cook...and stir for about an hour....or longer if you have the time. Taste and add more seasoning if you need to. 

Cook lasagna noodles.
Mix cottage, ricotta, Parmesan, eggs & parsley flakes together.

When you are ready to layer in your lasagna pan (deeper than a regular cake pan)....
- Spread just a small amount of meat mixture first
- Noodles
- Meat mixture
- Cheese mixture
- Sprinkle mozzarella
- Then repeat with noodles, etc.
Your final layer should be a layer of noodles - some more mozzarella and a final sprinkle of parmesan!



Cover with tin foil and cook in oven at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes.  Uncover and let set before serving.
Serve with salad and bread!  Lasagna is almost better leftover and it freezes well .
