Mom's Meaty Lasagna


In honor of Mother's Day coming up on Sunday I decided to post one of my favorite recipe's of my mom's . There are 3 things my mom makes really well that we always get excited for--waffles, spaghetti sauce, and lasagna. She makes other things well too but this is one of those things we would never want to miss out on.


1/2 lg. onion, chopped
1/2 lg. green pepper, chopped
1 1/2 lb. hamburger
1 sm. can tomato paste
1 qt. whole tomatoes (or 1 large can)
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp. pepper
8-10 lasagna noodles, cooked
16 oz. cottage cheese
1 lb. mozzarella cheese, sliced
Parmesan cheese, grated

In a large frying pan, brown hamburger; lightly season with onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Add onions, green peppers, tomato paste, tomatoes, oregano, garlic powder, basil, onion powder, pepper, and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 30 min. stirring occasionally. Remove bay leaf. Remove pan from heat. In a buttered 9 x 13-inch pan, layer lasagna noodles, sauce, cottage cheese, sliced mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Repeat until all ingredients are used. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 min.
