Lasagna

2 lbs ground beef
1 pkg lasagna noodles
3-4 24 oz jars of Classico Pasta Sauce (I usually buy a mixture of the Four cheese, traditional sweet basil, Tomatoes and basil)
16 oz cottage cheese
16 oz Ricotta cheese
2 lbs grated Cheese (cheddar or cheddar mix)
2 lbs grated mozzarella cheese

Cook Lasgana noodles and rinse until cool.
Cook Hamburger and season with salt and pepper. Add jars of sauce and heat.
Line bottom of 9x13 pan with thin layer of sauce and then 3 strips of noodles. Spoon meat sauce over all 3 strips then a layer of cheddar mix and a layer of mozzarella. Spoon cottage cheese and ricotta cheese over top. I usually do small spoonfuls in 3 across and about 6 long so that when you cut lasagna - each piece would have cottage and ricotta in it. Then repeat layers, noodles, meat sauce, grated cheeses and then cottage cheese and ricotta cheese. Then repeat once more with noodles, meat sauce and grated cheeses. Do not add the cottage cheese and ricotta cheese on top layer. Cover with foil and bake 60 min at 350 then remove foil and bake another 10 minutes or so.
