Recipe: 4 Cheese Lasagne with Meat Sauce

4 CHEESE LASAGNE

1 1/2 pounds 93% lean ground beef browned
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
36 to 48 oz of your favorite tomato/spaghetti sauce
1 box lasagne noodles, cooked al dente
1 1/2 quarts small curd cottage cheese
4 to 5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 to 5 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
16 ounces sliced Swiss cheese

Brown ground beef and onion (mushrooms optional). While browning add Italian seasoning. Once browned set aside.

In a deep 13X9-inch casserole dish or slightly larger spray it with PAM. Mix meat mixture and some of the spaghetti sauce together.

Now place a layer of noodles on the bottom. Spread a layer of cottage cheese over noodles (Not Too Much). Next layer tomato sauce over cheese. Now sprinkle cheddar shreds over sauce/meat mix. Sprinkle a layer of Parmesan shreds over that layer. Now layer Swiss cheese over other cheeses.

Now repeat this process until casserole is about 3-inches deep with layers.

Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 45 minutes.
