Easy Lasagna

From my Mom

2 1/2 C. grated mozzarella cheese
2 C. dry curd cottage cheese (I've found this ONCE in the store. I just buy regular and rinse/drain it - works fine)
1 Egg
1 lb ground beef, browned & drained (I use turkey)
1 tsp salt
1 28oz jar spaghetti sauce
1/2 tsp leaf oregano
1/2 pkg uncooked lasagna (llb) noodles (10 dry noodles)

1. Set aside 1/2 c. mozzarella cheese

2. Combine cottage cheese & remaining 2 cups mozzarella cheese, egg & salt in a bowl.

3. Add ground beef & oregano to spaghetti sauce in another bowl. Spread 2/3 C. sauce over bottom of baking dish (don't add more).

4. Layer 5 of the dry noodles in a single layer in pan (4 lengthways & 1 crossways) (noodles won't cover every inch of the pan).

5. Place half of of the cheese mixture over noodles.

6. Pour another 2/3 C. sauce over cheese mixture.

7. Layer remaining noodles on top of spaghetti sauce & top with remaining cheese mixture.

8. Pour remaining sauce over all. Last, top with the 1/2 C. remaining mozzarella.

[9. The uncooked dish can be prepared the night before]

10. Pour 2/3 C. water around the edge of the pan - cover & bake 1 hour. Let sit for 20 minutes before cutting.
