Judy's Lasagna (Judith Marie Gauntt 1983)

Freshly baked lasagna.

On Christmas day, I prepared this family favorite recipe was submitted by my mom. She made it often for us and still does. I have fond food memories of her making this dish. One day I was looking for something in her recipe file and found a card labeled "Ruth's Lasagna". It looked strangely familiar. I compared it to Mom's recipe in our family book...it was exactly the same. I love teasing her about stealing the recipe from her Aunt.

8 oz noodles (1 package of lasagna noodles)
1 lb hamburger
1/2 cup onion
15 oz can tomato sauce/mushroom
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
1 1/2 cup cottage cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook and drain noodles.

Layer 3 times: 1/3 noodles, 1/3 sauce, 1/3 cheese (cheese on top)

Bake 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Serves 6-8.
