For the Heck of it!

I found this Sneaky Lasagna Recipe at tasteofhome.com and it looks like one I’d like to try. Not because hubby and I don’t like vegetables (we do) but because I love one dish meals. I don’t even remember what I was looking for when I ran across this recipe. *scratching head*

• Prep: 25 min. Bake: 55 min. + standing

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 package (16 ounces) frozen California-blend vegetables
• 2 eggs
• 3 cups (24 ounces) 2% cottage cheese
• 2 jars (26 ounces each) spaghetti sauce
• 12 no-cook lasagna noodles
• 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

• In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Meanwhile, cook vegetables according to package directions; drain. Finely chop the vegetables; place in a bowl. Stir in eggs and cottage cheese; set aside.
• Drain beef; stir in spaghetti sauce. Spread 2 cups meat mixture into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Top with four noodles. Spread half of the vegetable mixture to edges of noodles. Layer with 2 cups meat mixture and 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Top with four noodles, remaining vegetable mixture and 2 cups meat mixture. Layer with remaining noodles, meat mixture and mozzarella cheese.
• Cover and bake at 375° for 50 minutes. Uncover; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting. Yield: 10-12 servings.
