LaZZzzzzy Lasagna

The Great American Brand Name Cookbook, is a wonderful tool. It is a collaboration of all those recipes you see on soup can labels or different food packagins.
Instead of having to carefully peel a label off of something though you can just crack this book open and have a browse!

Lazy Lasagna (with a few tweaks of my own)

1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 jar (32 oz) spaghetti sauce
1 lb cottage cheese ( I am using cottage and ricotta cheese as I prefer this mix)
8 oz dairy sour cream
8 uncooked lasagna noodles (I am using the no boil kind)
3 packages (6 oz each) or sliced mozzarella cheese (or you can do what I did and just use a package of pre-shredded cheese)
1/2 C grated Parmesan cheese
1 C water

Cook beef in large skillet over medium-hight heat until meat is brown, stirring to separate meat; drain fat.
Add spaghetti sauce, reduce heat to low.
Heat through, stirring occasionally; set aside.
Combine cottage cheese and sour cream in medium bowl; blend well

Spoon 1 1/2 c of the meat sauce in bottom of 13x9" pan.
Place 1/2 of the uncooked noodles over sauce, then 1/2 of the cottage cheese mixture, 4 slices of the mozzarella, 1/2 of the remaining meat sauce and 1/4 C of the Parmesan cheese.
Repeat layers starting with the noodle.
Top with remaining 4 slices of mozzarella cheese.
Pour water around the sides of the pan.
Cover tightly with foil, Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour.
Uncover; bake and additional 20 minutes or until bubbly.
Let stand 15-20 minutes.
Garnish and desired.

Makes 8-10 servings.
