Servings: 8-10 servings
Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: 2 hours 20 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

1 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
12 ounces cottage cheese, mixed with 1 beaten egg and 1/2 cup Parmesan
6 to 9   Long strips lasagna noodles
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
2   bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon Paula Deen’s Seasoned Salt
1 1/2 teaspoons Paula Deen’s House Seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons Paula Deen’s Sweet Italian Herb Blend
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 cup green bell peppers, diced
2   cloves garlic, diced
1/2 cup onions, diced
1 cup water
2 cups tomato sauce
2 cups canned, diced tomatoes
1 cup Swiss cheese, grated
2 cups cheddar, grated
1   (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup mozzarella, grated

Directions

To make the sauce, combine the tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, onions, peppers, garlic, parsley, seasoning mixtures, sugar and bay leaves in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Crumble the ground beef in a saucepan. Cook until no pink remains, then drain off the fat. Add the ground beef to the stockpot. Simmer for another 20 minutes. While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta according to the package directions. (If sauce is too thin, for your taste, you can thicken it up at this time by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and a 1/4 of a cup of cold water. Bring sauce back to a boil. Stir in cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly.) Remove bay leaves.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

To assemble lasagna, place a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a 9 by 13 by 2-inch pan. Layer 1/3 of each, noodles, cottage cheese mixture, Gruyere, Swiss and cheddar cheeses. Pinch off small pieces of cream cheese and dot over other cheeses. Add another layer of sauce. Repeat layering 2 to 3 times, ending with sauce. This may be covered and refrigerated. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and top with mozzarella and continue to bake for another 10 to 15 minutes. Note: If lasagna has been refrigerated, bake for 40 minutes total.

With the holidays coming I bake lots of cookies. I use colored sugars to decorate. How do I keep the sugars on the cookies and not all over the cookie jar?

Very good. I used smoked sausage instead. It was very good but hard to keep lit.

I love your Lady and Sons Restaurant and I love all your food...but I think the cheddar cheese has ruined this Lasagna.The cheddar cheese in this dish threw the whole Lasagna taste in another direction...Doesn't really taste like Lasagna...Only My Opinion.

where can I get the extra wide lasagna noodles that Paula used on her show?

Was so excited to make this until I saw the seasoning was only Paula Deen's. How about providing a reasonable substitute if you don't have those seasonings? Big let down otherwise.
