Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 C. green pepper, chopped
  • ½ C. onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 26 oz. jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1⅔ C. water
  • ¼ C. Italian salad dressing (prepared not dry)
  • ¼ C. brown sugar (I used 1 Tbsp. and it was plenty sweet)
  • 12 no boil lasagna noodles, uncooked (or use regular noodles and just break them up, then cook them in a pot of water and add to the beef mixture)
  • ½ C. ricotta or cottage cheese
  • 1 C. shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
  1. Brown beef in a large deep skillet over medium heat; drain.
  2. Add pepper, onion, and garlic; saute until tender.
  3. Stir in sauce, water, salad dressing and brown sugar. If using regular noodles, leave out the water.
  4. Bring to a boil.
  5. Break each noodle into 4 pieces; stir into mixture.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook, stirring occasionally until noodles are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat.
  8. Stir in ricotta or cottage cheese.
  9. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese; cover.
  10. Let stand for about 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.
