EASY LASAGNA

1 box lasagna noodles
1 lb. hamburger
salt, pepper & garlic salt, to taste
1 large can diced tomatoes (with juice)
1 1/4 pkgs. spaghetti sauce mix
1 C. small curd cottage cheese
1 pkg. (16 oz.) Monterey Jack cheese, sliced thin

Cook noodles as directed. Lay out on wax paper or tin foil to cool. Brown hamburger with a little salt, pepper and garlic salt, to taste. Drain. Add can of diced tomatoes WITH JUICE. Add 1 1/4 pkgs. of spaghetti sauce mix; mix well. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Layer lasagna as follows: noodles, 1/2 of hamburger sauce (note....the sauce doesn't completely cover both layers, you just kinda spread out a little bit of the sauce here and there. It won't be COMPLETELY covered), cottage cheese, thin slices of Monterey Jack cheese, noodles, remaining sauce (make sure the sauce covers noodles entirely to edges so the edges don't get too crispy in the oven), cottage cheese, thin slices of Monterey Jack cheese. Bake COVERED at 350 degrees for 1 hour, or until sizzling. Bake 1 1/4 hours IF the lasagna has been in the fridge.
