Dad's Favorite Lasagna Recipe
- 1 1/2 pound grnd chuck
- 1 pkg. Italian sweet sausage (grnd, if possible), cooked and cut up
- 3 (15 ounce.) cans tomato sauce
- 1 sm. can tomato paste
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon sage
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- In Dutch oven, brown grnd chuck and sausage.
- (If the sausage is in links, cook in a separate pan and then cut up and add in to grnd chuck after.)
- Drain grease.
- Add in the rest of the sauce ingredients and simmer while cooking noodles.
- Depending on what size pan you will put the lasagna in will determine the number of noodles to cook.
- To determine how many, lay the uncooked noodles in the bottom of your pan (a 9x13 inch will use 4 noodles for each layer).
- Then cook sufficient for 3 layers, plus 1 or possibly 2 extra to allow for breakage.
- Add in one noodle at a time to boiling water.
- Push noodle over on its side, then add in the next noodle.
- Keeping them on the sides will prevent them from sticking and breaking.
- Drain and rinse noodles in cool water.
- Put a small amount of sauce on bottom of pan.
- Then noodles.
- Spoon sauce over noodles.
- Spoon 1 container of cottage cheese over sauce and spread proportionately with spoon.
- Add in Mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat noodles, sauce, cottage cheese, Mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat once more.
- Spoon a small amount of sauce over Mozzarella cheese to keep from burning.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min uncovered.
- This is best if it is left to sit overnight or possibly if made in the morning and served at night.
- Otherwise, when cut it will be runny from the cottage cheese.
- To reheat, cover with foil.
