Lasagna

Here's my mom's lasagna. Whenever we had company over, my mom would always make lasagna.

1lb ground beef
1/3 c onion
1-2 cloves garlic (or garlic powder)
2 can tomato sauce (just plain sauce)
1 c water
1 carton cottage cheese
1/3-1/2 block mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/3-1/2 block cheddar cheese, shredded
1pkg lasagna noodles, uncooked

Brown hamburger with onion and garlic. Drain fat off meat. (Sometimes I leave it on...it's not very good for you, but sometimes it's really tasty :) )
Add tomato sauce and water to meat.
Spray a 9x13 pan with Pam. Start your layers with the meat sauce. Then add a layer of the uncooked noodles. Spoon around 2-3 TBSP of cottage cheese next; then add another layer of meat sauce, then a layer of moz cheese, then cheddar cheese. Then you start a new layer of noodles, and continue like that. (You kind of have to eyeball the layers with how much you want on each layer...it's not too picky though...it should taste pretty good, even if you don't get your layers very even.) When you make your last layer, make sure you get sauce all around the edges, so that you don't have any bare noodles, and put a little more shredded cheese on the very top than you have the rest of your layers. Cover with tinfoil, then bake it in the oven at 350deg, for around 1hr 15min. You want to check it at around an hour, and if it looks too runny, you can take the foil off; from there you just want to make sure your noodles are done, and then it's ready!
