Lasagna/ Lasagna Casserole

(From Cherie)

To make the sauce:
Brown ½-1 lb ground beef—season with garlic salt, pepper, onion, etc…
Add 1 can Hunts tomato sauce with basil, garlic, and oregano
And 1 can tomato soup plus about 1/3 of the soup can full of water
Mix together, cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes

For lasagna casserole:
Cook a little more than ¾ of a 1 lb bag of egg noodles. Drain. Add 1 ½ C. cottage cheese and a little salt to the noodles and mix together. In a 2 quart casserole dish, layer half of the noodles, half of the sauce, then a layer of cheese. (I use cheddar and mozzarella) Repeat layers one more time. Cover and bake about 30 minutes at 350.

For lasagna:
Boil lasagna noodles until cooked. Place a layer of lasagna noodles in a 9x13 pan. Spoon some cottage cheese over all the noodles. Add half of the sauce. Then sprinkle with cheese. Repeat layers one more time. (I usually double layer the noodles in one of my sets of layers). Bake same as casserole.
