Lasagna

Hey everyone! I've never posted to a blog so here goes... Here is a recipe that I tried from a cookbook we received at our wedding called "Calumet County Kitchens". Walter and I really enjoyed it!

(Preheat oven to 350. 6 servings, about 1 1/4 cups each)
1 lb ground beef
2 tsp liquid garlic (I used fresh garlic)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp oregano
1 tbsp parsley flakes
6 ounce can tomato paste
8 ounce can tomato sauce
3/4 cup hot water
6 lasagna noodles, cooked
1 egg
12 ounces cream-style cottage cheese (not sure what "cream-style" is as I think all are "cream-style", aren't they?)
1/4 lb (about 1 cup) process cheese, shredded

Crumble beef into large fry pan. Cook over moderate heat, stirring as needed, until lightly browned. Add garlic and onion; cook until onion is tender. Add seasonings, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water. Simmer, stirring, occasionally, for 5 minutes. Blend egg with cottage cheese.

In a 7 by 12 by 2 inch baking dish, spread layers of one-fourth of tomato-meat sauce, then three noodles, and one-fourth more tomato-meat sauce. Add half the cottage cheese mixture and half the process cheese. Add another one-fourth tomato-meat sauce, then the remaining cottage and process cheese. Spread with remaining noodles, then sauce. Bake uncovered 30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy! Love, Kim
