This is a little remix of my grandma's lasagna 

My husband LOVES ricotta but I do not I think the taste is a little strong

and it over powers the lasagna

I like the cottage cheese instead... My grandma told me she had but cottage

cheese in her lasagna and I was a little surprised because I've never liked the stuff

but the taste in the lasagna is perfect... not to strong at all .. you can 

taste all the flavors in the lasagna

I added the pepperoni and banana peppers (my husbands favs!)

If you bake your noodles instead of boiling them

the lasagna will stay together

I hate when noodles go sliding everywhere!

Keena's Famous Lasagna

My sisters best friend makes some really good Lasagna ... here is her recipe

1 pound of ground beef, lasagna noodles,

1 jar of spaghetti sauce, 

1 and 1/2 cups of cottage cheese,

1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, 

2 TBS of grated Parmesan cheese, 

and make as follows:

Brown ground beef and drain, spoon 1 cup of sauce in bottom of a 4 quart crock pot.

Mix remaining sauce with beef. Place 2 uncooked lasagna noodles on sauce in crock pot. Spread 1/3 meat mixture on top of noodles. Spread 3/4 cups of cottage cheese over meat. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over cottage cheese.

 

Add another layer of uncooked noodles, 1/3 meat mixture, the remaining cottage cheese, and 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese. Place another layer of uncooked noodles, meat mixture, and mozzarella cheese.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top and cook on low for about 4 hours, but no longer because noodles will be tough! Enjoy!
