Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
12 ounces cottage cheese, mixed with 1 beaten egg and 1/2 cup Parmesan
6 to 9 long strips lasagna noodles
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Paula Deen's Seasoned Salt
1 1/2 teaspoons Paula Deen's House Seasoning

1 cup grated Swiss cheese
2 cups grated cheddar cheese

1 clove garlic

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup spaghetti sauce
6 purchased precooked or oven-ready lasagna noodles (each about 7x3 inches)

  • Stir the Italian seasoning and spaghetti sauce into the beef. Spread 1/4 cup of the beef mixture in the ungreased square pan.
  • Top with 2 noodles, placing them so they do not overlap or touch the sides of the pan because they will expand as they bake. Spread about 1/2 cup of the remaining beef mixture over the noodles.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup of the cottage cheese over the beef mixture. Sprinkle with about 1/3 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
  • Repeat layering twice more, beginning with 2 more noodles and following directions in steps 3 and 4 Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake 30 minutes. Carefully remove the foil, and continue baking about 10 minutes longer or until lasagna is bubbly around the edges and looks very hot. Let stand 10 minutes, so the lasagna will become easier to cut and serve.
