Wendy's Fantabulous Lasagna...the lazy way!


Yes, another one from Wendy! Woo-hoo! However, she probably makes this much more amazing than I do. She makes her red sauce from scratch! That is a good woman for you! Someday I am sure that I will suck it up and do it the hard way, but until then...this recipe is the cheesiest, yummiest lasagna I have eaten in...forever! It literally has 5 different types of cheese, including swiss, which makes the recipe! I cut this recipe in half for an 8x8 pan. BTW: I think it is officially impossible to get a good picture of lasagna!

From: Wendy

1 1/2 lbs hamburger
1 can prego
12 oz. cottage cheese
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
9 strips no boil lasagna noodles(or rice pasta to be gf)
1 1/2 cup swiss cheese
2 cup cheddar cheese
1-8oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350. Mix cottage cheese, egg, and parmesan cheese in a small bowl, set aside. Crumble hamburger in fry pan. Cook until no pink remains, then drain off fat and combine with prego. 
Place a thin layer of sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish. Layer 1/3 of each noodles, cottage cheese mixture, swiss and cheddar cheese. Pinch off small pieces of cream cheese and dot over other cheeses. 

Add another layer of sauce. Repeat layering 2-3 times, ending with sauce. 

Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and top with mozzarella. Bake for another 10-15 minutes.
Serve with Divine Breadsticks and you will definitely feel like you gained a couple pounds! Okay, maybe that isn't desirable, but just wait until you TASTE it!

did you change the header and background of the blog? I like it!
And yeah - lasagna isnt the prettiest dish to photograph. But you did great - I'm tempted to lick the computer screen.
