Aunt Edith's Lasagna Recipe

Better late than never? Sorry this took so long...

I know everyone has a favorite lasagna recipe, but this one is famous in my family. It’s not the quickest lasagna recipe, but oh so yummy. Aunt Edith is my Papaw’s youngest sister.

1 lb hamburger meat, browned
1 lb sausage, browned
1 large can tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp onion salt
10 oz wide lasagna noodles
16 oz cottage cheese
1 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp parsley flakes
2-3 cups shredded Mozzarella

Mix first 7 ingredients together and cook, uncovered, in a large pot or Dutch oven for 1 hour. Cook the noodles and drain. Mix cottage cheese, salt, eggs, cheddar, and parsley flakes in a medium bowl. In a large baking dish, layer 1) half of noodles; 2) half of cheese mixtures; 3) half of meat sauce; 4) layer of Mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers and bake for 30-40 minutes at 325 degrees.

This can also be frozen if you use all fresh ingredients. Just freeze after layering all ingredients, then thaw and bake when you're ready.
