Mom’s 10 Step Lasagna

I joke that my mom’s 10 step lasagna is why my husband married me. Except…when we got married, I couldn’t make it quite like my mom. Ok, I couldn’t make it like my mom at all. Now I know, 4 years later, that my brother and husband called it lasgana dip behind my back for the entire first year of our marriage. Thanks, guys. Apparently the flavor was delicious…texture, not so much. Now that I have perfected my mom’s lasagna, I wanted to share it with ya’ll.

Mom’s 10 Step Lasagna 

  1. Brown your ground beef..venison..etc. Stir in sauce, spices and let simmer. I use venison for almost everything, but you can use any ground meat that you like.

2. Add approximately 1/2 of sauce mixture to 9×13″ greased pan

5. Add egg/cottage cheese mixture as next layer

6. Add another layer of uncooked lasagna noodles

7. Add remaining sauce, cover with foil, cook at 350 degrees for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until noodles are cooked.

8. Cook uncovered for approximately 10 minutes

9. Remove lasagna from oven, cover with shredded cheese, place back in oven until cheese is fully melted

    This looks good. I don’t eat pasta, so will have to get creative with some of the ingredients!

    Sounds good! Nice to know we’re not the only household that uses venison more than we use beef. I can’t remember the last time we had beef. We have a wild boar problem and my husband is an avid hunter so we use it in all our food or venison.

      I can’t remember the last time we had beef either! We eat venison all the time! I have heard wild boar is amazing-never had it, but would love to try it!

    I’m not a pasta lover so the “dip” version of this would be for me 🙂 I do love it without the noodles though! Looks easy and delicious

    This looks delicious. My husband loves lasagne so I’ll give it a try. I LOVE the fact you can put the noodles in uncooked. Cooking them is always my most unfavorite part. I always use cottage cheese, too.

    This looks amazing! I wonder if I could make it with zucchini instead of noodles. I’m not sure if it would be as good, but I bet it would still be pretty amazing!
