Recipe Summary Blue Cheese Lasagna
The blue cheese in this recipe lends a creamy quality to the cottage cheese layer and only a subtle, pleasant touch of flavor. There is no mozzarella in this non-traditional lasagna that will have your guests waiting for the recipe handout. (Have it ready!) I have the habit of making way too much lasagna, so this recipe is perfect for keeping my portions under control for our now-empty nest with minimal leftovers. I believe this would work well in a slow cooker, but haven't tried it yet. Don't be afraid of the blue cheese flavor overpowering this recipe - it doesn't!Ingredients | Blue Colour Fruit Or Vegetablecooking spray½ pound ground beef½ pound lean ground pork1 (24 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce2 tablespoons brown sugar1 cup cottage cheese1 cup crumbled blue cheese¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese1 large egg, lightly beaten1 tablespoon dried oregano1 (12 ounce) box no-boil lasagna noodles6 slices provolone cheese1 cup shredded Cheddar cheeseDirectionsPreheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
