Instructions

Step 1

Brown ground beef with chopped onion. Drain. Add spaghetti sauce (I do doctor mine with fresh garlic, Italian seasoning, and about 1 tablespoon sugar). Let simmer for about 1 hour to let seasoning blend.

Step 2

In a separate bowl blend the cream cheese and the cottage cheese together.

Step 3

Boil noodles according to package. Drain and cool the noodles down.

Step 4

Beat the egg in a separate bowl and then pour over cooled noodles. Work the egg into the noodles. (This will help set the noodles and makes it easier to serve.)

Step 5

In a greased 9x13 layer like you would lasagna: Noodles, Cheese, Sauce. Repeat ending with Sauce.

Step 6

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Top with Mozzarella cheese and return just long enough to melt.
