Ingredients

Grammy's Overnight Lasagna
1 ½ pounds ground beef
1 (30 ounce) jar marinara sauce
¾ cup water
1 teaspoon salt
12 lasagna noodles
1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese
12 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Grammy's Overnight Lasagna

Step 1

Cook the ground beef in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes; drain fat. Stir in the marinara sauce, water, and salt. Bring to a boil. Remove sauce from heat.

Step 2

Arrange 6 noodles in a 9x13-inch baking dish, breaking if necessary to fit. Spoon 1/2 of the sauce over noodles. Top with 1/2 of the cottage cheese and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers with remaining noodles, sauce, cottage cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Top with Parmesan cheese. Cover tightly with foil; refrigerate overnight.

Step 3

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 4

Bake lasagna, covered, until noodles are soft, cheese is melted, and sauce is bubbly, about 1 hour. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
