Grandma's Lasagna

Submitted by jmelyn

"This is the lasagna I grew up eating, and it is definitely my favorite. My half-Italian husband sneers at some of the ingredients, but it's really easy to make, and very tasty--and my husband always has seconds."

directions

1. Note: I'm estimating on the amounts of noodles and cheese.
2. The recipe says half a package of noodles, and 1 package of cheese.
3. I buy the standard size box of noodles you get in the grocery store, and use however many noodles fit in the pan.
4. I also buy pre-grated mozzarella.
5. Sometimes I throw in some grated parmesan.
6. Like any lasagna recipe, this one is adaptable.
7. Brown ground beef.
8. Add sloppy joe mix and tomato sauce.
9. Boil noodles 8 minutes, according to package directions.
10. In a casserole dish, layer meat sauce, noodles, cottage cheese, mozzarella, and meat sauce again.
11. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
12. Top with mozzarella.
13. Bake for one hour at 375.
