How to Make Make Ahead Cheeseburger Lasagna
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a 12-inch skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef and 1 medium chopped onion over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in 24 oz tomato sauce, 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons ketchup, and 1 tablespoon mustard. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a medium bowl, beat 1 large egg with a whisk or fork. Stir in 15 oz low-fat cottage cheese (substituting for ricotta) and 2 cups of shredded reduced-fat cheese blend.
- Spread 1 cup of the beef mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Top with 4 uncooked lasagna noodles.
- Spread half of the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles.
- Top with 1 1/2 cups of the beef mixture.
- Repeat layers: 4 noodles, remaining cottage cheese mixture, and 1 1/2 cups of beef mixture.
- Top with the remaining 4 noodles, remaining beef mixture, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with foil.
- Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Bake covered for 45 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for another 25-35 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
- Remove from oven and let stand, covered with foil, for 5-10 minutes before cutting.
- Just before serving, top individual portions with lettuce, tomato, and pickle slices. Serve with extra ketchup, if desired.
