Easy Lasagna Bake Recipe
Ingredients
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 (16 oz) package lasagna noodles
1 quart jar of your favorite pasta sauce
24 oz cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1 Tbsp dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp garlic salt
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Stir in the pasta sauce and simmer until heated through.
Meanwhile, bring 5 quarts of water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil in a large stockpot. Cook the lasagna noodles for 10 minutes, then drain well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, parsley, garlic salt, and 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella cheese. Stir thoroughly to blend.
Layer the ingredients in a 9x13-inch pan in this order:
Cover the pan with foil and bake at 350°F for 40–45 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 10–15 minutes before cutting into servings.
