EASY SKILLET LASAGNA
1 pound lean ground beef or turkey
½ onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup) or 1 Tbsp. dried onion
3 cups (24 ounces) spaghetti or pasta sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ cup water
8 ounces whole wheat egg noodles
Sliced mushrooms, fresh or canned, drained (optional)
1 container (24 ounces) low fat cottage cheese
1 ½ cup light mozzarella cheese, shredded
Cook ground beef in a large skillet or electric fry pan. Stir to prevent sticking. When ground beef has turned brown, drain fat from pan. If there is not a lot, I use a paper towel to wipe excess grease out. Be very careful since it is very hot! Add mushrooms and cook for two minutes.
Add spaghetti sauce, garlic powder, onion, and water to skillet. Bring to a boil. Add uncooked noodles. Stir and cover with lid. Turn down the heat to 300 and cook 5 minutes.
Spoon cottage cheese over the top. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Put the lid on and let it heat another 5 to 10 minutes until heated through and noodles are tender. For a pretty appearance do not stir the dish once cheese has melted. Season with salt and pepper.
