Brown meat and onion together. Drain off grease and put meat in a large sauce pan.

Step 2

Add the remaining ingredients through the water. Then, simmer for approximately 45 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, boil the lasagna noodles. Spray a deep 9x13 inch baking dish with Pam.

Step 4

To assemble the lasagna you will alternate layers of meat, cheese, noodles...3 layers of meat and cheese; 2 layers of noodles. The last layer of cheese will only be the Parmesan cheese. Split the Mozzarella and cottage cheeses between the middle 2 layers of cheese. Use as much of the Parmesan cheese as you prefer.

Step 6

It will need to sit for approximately 15 minutes when it comes out of the oven in order to set and make cutting easier.
