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 Hokkaido Squash Recipe

cooking spray

½ pound ground beef

½ pound lean ground pork

1 (24 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 cup cottage cheese

1 cup crumbled blue cheese

¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 (12 ounce) box no-boil lasagna noodles

6 slices provolone cheese

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Coat the inside of a glass 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and pork in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix spaghetti sauce and brown sugar into beef-pork mixture until sauce is well blended.

Combine cottage cheese, blue cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, and oregano in a bowl.

Spread enough sauce into the bottom of the loaf pan to reach 1-inch depth. Break 2 lasagna noodles to fit the length of the loaf pan, slightly overlapping. Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture over noodle layer. Layer 3 slices provolone, slightly overlapping, over cheese layer. Sprinkle 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese over provolone cheese. Repeat layering with the remaining ingredients ending in a layer of sauce.

Place the loaf pan on the prepared baking sheet and top loaf pan loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
