Lasagna

Serves 6-8
1 package lasagna noodles
1-1/2 pounds groung beef
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cans (10-3/4 oz. each) condensed tomato soup
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3-4 Tablespoons garlic powder
2 Tablespoons italian seasonings
1 container (16 oz.) small-curd cottage cheese
1 package (16 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook noodles according to package direction; drain.

While noodles are cooking, brown beef in a large skilletover medium heat; drain. Add onion, soup, vinegar, garlic, and seasonings. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Lay noodles legthwise across the bottom of a greased 9x13" pan. Spread a layer of cottage cheese over the noodles. Add a layer of the meat mixture, then cover with mozzarella cheese. Repeat 2 times. Cover the top with noodles and top with remaining cheese.

Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly and golden.

NOTE: The seasonings listed above are approximate. I usually add more, but as you are seasoning you should keep tasting the mixture until you reach a point that you think is good. This recipe is delicious! Johnny said this is his favorite lasagna of all time.

This recipe is my own adaptation of a recipe found in, "Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade Cooking 2" cookbook.
