How to Make German Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth.
  3. Gradually whisk in bouillon, milk, and broth. Add onion salt, black pepper, and white pepper (if using).
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes, or until thickened.
  5. Stir in sausage and heat through.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, and remaining pepper.
  7. Spread one-third of the sausage mixture in the bottom of a greased 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
  8. Layer with three lasagna noodles, then top with one-third of the sausage mixture, half of the cottage cheese mixture, and half of the sauerkraut.
  9. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  10. Repeat layers: noodles, one-third sausage mixture, remaining cottage cheese mixture, remaining sauerkraut, and 3/4 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  11. Top with remaining noodles and sausage mixture. The dish should be full.
  12. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until bubbly.
  13. Remove foil, sprinkle with remaining Monterey Jack cheese, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  14. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
