Lasagna

6 oz ground beef - cooked
1 lb cottage cheese
2 eggs
28 oz jar pasta sauce
12 lasagna noodles
1-2 c mozzarella cheese

Mix cottage cheese with eggs in small bowl. Mix sauce with ground beef in bowl. Spray an 8x8 pan with pam. Spread thin layer of sauce in pan. Top with 3 noodles, cut as needed. Cover with half of the cottage cheese mix and more sauce. Add another layer of noodles half of the cottage cheese mix and more sauce. Add one layer of noodles mozzarella cheese and sauce. Add one more layer of noodles then sauce. Cover and chill. Before baking top with parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes (if chilled 60 minutes).

This is a favorite lasagna recipe of mine, except my mom's of course. I can't remember if the noodles are cooked or not, since I have not made it in a while. I will update the recipe when I test the recipe for if the noodles are cooked or not.

Rice Casserole

2 c celery - diced

Pour 3/4 c boiling water over rice, salt, and sugar. Cover and let stand while preparing the rest. Brown hamburger and onion. Add celery, soup, and soy sauce. Mix together with rice, including water. Put into 2 quart casserole. Bake one hour at 350 degrees.

Another favorite of mine that is always a good hotdish.

Cook the broccoli (normally I just run under hot water until thawed). Mix all ingredients well and put in 9x13 pan sprayed with Pam. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
