I have tried these two recipes from the "Taste of Home Magazine", issue
April/ May 96. These were very, very good. I hope you will like them as
much as my family does. :)

In a large kettle or dutch oven, cook beef, sausage and onion until meat is
browned and onion is tender; drain. Stir in the next 10 ingredients.
Simmer, uncovered, for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook
lazagna noodles according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold
water. In a greased 13in. x 9in. x 2in. baking dish layer a third of the
noodles and meatsauce, half of the cottage cheese, a third of the
mozzerella and a third of the parmesan. Repeat layers. Top with remaining
noodles, meatsauce, mozzerella and parmesan. Cover and bake at 350 for 45
minutes; uncover and bake for 20 minutes. Let stand for 20 minutes before
cutting. Yield: 12 servings.

I put my large cookie sheet under my dish in the oven to catch the drips.
Saves on cleaning. :)
