Lazy Lasagna

Easy, cheesy, done is how I like my lasagna. Ok, that's perhaps a bit of an exaggeration simply because I just like lasagna, any way I can get it. The other day I decided lasagna didn't need to be so very challenging as to require long, delicate noodles arranged perfectly. It just needed to be noodle-y, and saucy, and cheesy. So I came up with lazy lasagna! 

See the cheesy goodness? 

Ingredients:

1 Package of wide egg noodles cooked 

1 egg

1 16 oz carton of cottage cheese

16 oz shredded mozzarella

1/4 cup dried parsley 

1 lb browned ground beef or Italian sausage

6-8 cups spaghetti sauce

12 oz shredded Colby Jack cheese

Directions:

While cooking noodles according to package directions, combine first two cheeses with the egg and the parsley. 

Combine meat with spaghetti sauce, drain noodles, and spray two or three foil pans with oil. 

Preheat oven to 350*F if you plan on baking one now. 

Spread a little spaghetti sauce on the bottom of each pan, cover with a single layer of noodles, crumble cheese mixture over noodles, and cover with sauce. 

Repeat layers until your pans are full then top with shredded Colby jack cheese. 

Stick one in the oven uncovered for 30-45 minutes or until bubbly around the edges and cover the other(s) with aluminum foil, label, and freeze. 

I used extra wide egg noodles but you can really use just about any sort of noodle successfully

There's the leftover spaghetti sauce from my last batch. 

The perfect cheese mixture has plenty of parsley in it in my opinion. 

Three round cake pans is what I happened to have lying around
 

All layered up!  
 

The shredded cheese on the top makes it perfectly stringy and wonderful! 

Remember to label the freezer lasaganas!

There they are! All perfect and chilling next to the teeeeny baby ice cream. 

Cheesy, cheesy goodness!!! 

I really do hope you enjoy this wonderful way to make lasagna!
