Lasagna

I don't have a whimsical tale from my childhood with today's post. All I can say is my mom makes the worlds best lasagna! I make it the same way she does, use the same ingredients and everything, but it never taste the same. Maybe it's the love she puts in it or some weird mommy vibe that I haven't mastered yet. Either way mine is inferior but still very yummy. Now that I've told you I'm not as good a cook as my mom, I'll share her recipe and maybe you can make it as good as she does. Ha

10-12 Lasagne Noodles 
1/2 Lb. Hamburger
1 Lb. Italian Sausage
1 Jar Spaghetti Sauce (any flavor)
24 Oz. Large Curd Cottage Cheese
1 Can Mushrooms 
4 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Preheat oven to 375.

Cook noodles til al dente. 

Brown hamburger and sausage. 

In large bowl mix sauce, cottage cheese, meat, mushrooms. 

Spread spoonful of mixture in bottom of a glass casserole dish. (Just enough to cover bottom of dish, keeps the noodles from sticking to the pan) 

Lay noodles long ways on top of mixture. 

Spread another couple spoonfuls on top of noodles.
 Spread a hand full of cheese over top of mixture. 
Add noodles short ways across pan.
Add meat mixture and cheese. Repeat alternating the direction of the noodles til pan is full or you run out of mixture or noodles.  

Make sure the top layer is meat sauce. Then add remainder of cheese to top. 

Bake for approximately 15 mins or until cheese is melted and brown and mixture is heated throughout. 
Serve with bread sticks or garlic bread and a salad.
