Preparation

Michelle's Meat Sauce:

Step 1:

Brown meat and cook veggies (I chop the mushrooms up with spatula

while they are cooking). Add spices and all other ingredients, tasting as you go.

 Step 3:

Cover with tinfoil and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. Remove tinfoil, broil for a few minutes, so the cheese can get toasted on top.

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.

Mix cottage cheese and egg. Set aside.
