Sanderson's Cookbook, Aunt Rita’s Lasagna
Aunt Rita's Lasagna
This one comes from my Aunt Rita in Yreka, CA. And it tastes even better on the second day! (Or that's what Aunt Rita says. I wouldn't know, because they never save any for me.)
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 1/2 pounds ground Italian sausage
1 pound, 10 ounce jar of chunky pasta sauce
4 1/2 ounces sliced mushrooms
12 ounces mozzarella cheese
1 pound lasagna noodle strips
32 ounces low fat cottage cheese
Brown ground beef and sausage together in a large skillet. Add mushrooms. Grate the mozzarella cheese while meat and mushrooms are browning. Boil water in a large pot. Add a small amount of vegetable oil as water comes to a boil. Add the lasagna noodles to the pot. Boil according to package directions. Grease a large casserole dish. Put into the dish in successive layers, noodles, sauce, cottage cheese, mozzarella, noodles, sauce, cottage cheese, mozzarella, until all the ingredients are used. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Allow to cool before serving. Serves eight.
