Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 lb ground beef

- 4 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
- In a large cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, add the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and sausage, and cook until browned, breaking up the meat into smaller chunks as it cooks.
- Once browned, add the garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt, and stir to combine.
- Add the marinara and water, giving it a mix and then tuck the lasagna chunks into the sauce .
- Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce the heat to low.
- Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring, every 7-8 minutes to prevent the bottom from sticking.
- After 20 minutes, the lasagna sheets should be cooked.
- Add the cottage cheese and Parmesan cheese and stir to combine, cooking another 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle the lasagna with shredded mozzarella and broil until the cheese is melted and golden, about 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye on it so it does not burn.
- Serve topped with chopped fresh parsley or basil. Enjoy!
