Blue Cheese Lasagna image

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!

Time 2h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

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

Steps:

  • 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.

This lasagna was delicious, but it was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try using less cheese next time.

This lasagna was a disaster! The blue cheese was overpowering and the lasagna was too salty.
