Author: Mandy Bird
Serves: 6
- 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
- Brown beef in a large deep skillet over medium heat; drain.
- Add pepper, onion, and garlic; saute until tender.
- Stir in sauce, water, salad dressing and brown sugar. If using regular noodles, leave out the water.
- Bring to a boil.
- Break each noodle into 4 pieces; stir into mixture.
- Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook, stirring occasionally until noodles are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in ricotta or cottage cheese.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese; cover.
- Let stand for about 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.
