Vicki's Three-Cheese Garlic Lasagna image

I started out with a lasagna recipe given to me by my sister-in-law probably 30 years ago. Through the years, I have changed just about everything and made this recipe my own. The original recipe didn't have any garlic in it at all, a small jar of mushrooms and only 8 oz of noodles. It also had less hamburger. Anyway, this one is mine and everyone who tries it loves it. My husband swears it's the best lasagna he has ever eaten! Please give it a try! You won't be sorry!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1.75 lb - low-fat hamburger
24 oz - garlic & onion spaghetti sauce
15 oz - tomato sauce
1 large - white onion
8 oz - jar of sliced mushrooms
dash - salt to taste
1 tsp - garlic powder
16 oz - lasagna noodles, cooked
24 oz - cottage cheese
4 cups - mozzarella cheese
2 cups - mild cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Boil lasagna noodles per package instructions. Chop onion very fine. (I use my food processor on the CHOP setting).
  • While the noodles are boiling, brown the hamburger in a large skillet and drain the grease. Add the spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, onion, garlic, salt and mushrooms. Allow the sauce to cook together on medium low heat for at least 20 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • When noodles are finished cooking, rinse them thoroughly in cold water to prevent them from sticking.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a large lasagna casserole dish with nonstick spray.
  • Begin by adding a layer of noodles, overlapping them in the dish.
  • Then evenly spread on half of the cottage cheese.
  • Sprinkle on 2 cups of Mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
  • Next spoon on half the sauce mixture and spread evenly.
  • Repeat above steps beginning with the noodles and ending with the sauce mixture.
  • Top with 2 cups mild cheddar cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes.
