Lasagna is one of our favorite comfort foods! We also make a Mexican version.

The amount of ingredients listed allows us enough for a meal and to freeze smaller tin foil containers.

Ingredients
Uncooked lasagna noodles
1.5 lbs lean ground beef
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups water
1 large container cottage cheese
2 (2 ounce) cans sliced black olives
1 large package shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 large package shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F (175 degrees C)
2. In a large bowl, combine beef, beans, oregano, cumin and garlic powder.
3. Place 4 uncooked noodles in bottom of a 9×13 inch pan. Spread half of beef mixure over noodles. Top with 4 noodles. Spread with remaining mixture, and top with remaining noodles.
4. In a medium bowl, mix water and picante sauce. Pour evenly over layers. Cover tightly with foil.
5. Bake 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven, or until noodles are tender.
