Quick Weeknight Lazy Lasagna
  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rapid boil. Cook the egg noodles in the boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain.

  3. 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the ground beef and sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard the grease. Pour the marinara sauce over the meat. Stir in the drained egg noodles, cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning; mix until combined. Transfer the mixture to an 8-inch square casserole dish and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and the remaining Parmesan.

    Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is golden brown, about 25 minutes.
