Oven Baked Lasagna

OVEN BAKED LASAGNA 

In a fry pan add a touch of oil/grease, add ground burger (1lb), 1 onion, chopped, 2 Tbls diced garlic
cook thoroughly add couple good pinches of mix italian herb seasoning(parsley, thyme, oregano, basil, etc) then add 32oz of tomato sauce( pasta sauce will work too). Simmer about 5 mins....
In a bowl mix 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and 12 oz cottage cheese and 1 egg(not a big deal if out of eggs be brave go without) mix together.... I found that the cheeses have plenty of salt no need to add extra...but you may want to add some pepper (1 tsp) here.  
In the bottom of a 9x13 pan you are gonna layer these items...... 1/2 of meat sauce first then put about 4 noodles wide(long ways) add cheese mix then meat, noodles, cheese mix. Here you add another 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and garnish however you like. As you see I used fresh tomatoes.
Bake in 350* oven for 45 mins covered then take cover off and bake another 10 mins. When it is done cooking it is best to let this set for about 15 mins ...It sets up better to serve......

As some of you know, i am a lazy cook! This dish takes very little time to prepare but a bit of time to bake. I, personally , am not a fan of green peppers however, my husband is.
