So good. I did used ricotta instead of cottage cheese (it's what I had) turned out very good, but next time I'm going to leave this layer out and double the potato cheese layer. I also used quite a bit more bacon, added green onions over the top when serving and left out the dill. Thank you for making it possible for me to mimic the classic taste that my Father-in-law makes only at Christmas! We love it!

This was so good and so simple to make! I used the no-boil lasagna noodles and they worked out just fine. I thought I had more bacon than I actually did - I only had 4 slices. SO... I browned some ground beef, put that on the top layer, then added the buttery onions and bacon. VERY good!! Everyone here was very pleased. Thanks!

Wow, I just made this and it was a HUGE hit! I made just a few minor changes to accomadate my families tastes. I substituted Kielbalsa Sausage (sliced thinly) for the bacon, and put a layer of the Kielbalsa ontop of each layer. Also, I substitued Ricotta Cheese for the Cottage cheese. And lastly, my kids refuse to eat onions so I used only Onion Powder. I even made a pan with no sausage for me as I dont eat meat, it was delicious as well! Thanks so much for this recipie, it is now one of the Family Favorites! A great warm, comfort food!

We really enjoyed this with sour cream & salsa. I cheated and made instant mashed potatoes instead of "real" and it was still delicious! Thank you!

Just like it promised! I admit I was hesitant when I saw the cottage cheese since I'm not a big fan of cottage cheese but you couldn't even tell! Would definitely make this again.
