Lasagna

My family prefers this without the cottage cheese layer and it works fine without it, but I will include it as an option.

1 lb ground beef
1/2 an onion, chopped
1 tsp garlic salt
2 - 14 oz cans tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1 tsp chili powder (I add extra)
1 tsp oregano
1 1/2 tsp basil
9-12 lasagna noodles (oven-ready)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Brown the beef with the onions and garlic. Once brown, add the tomato sauce, water and spices. In an 8x11 baking dish layer 1/3 of the sauce, noodles, 1/3 sauce, noodles and the rest of the sauce. Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes at 350. Remove foil, top with mozza cheese and bake another 15 minutes uncovered.

Cottage Cheese Layer:
1 cup cottage cheese
1 egg
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt

Mix together and spread on top of the first layer of noodles. Top with more noodles and then remaining sauce.

I make my lasagna in an 8x11 dish because it's saucier. It can also be done in a 9x13 but will be a bit drier. It's a personal preference.
