Rice Lasagna

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 cups cooked rice, cooled
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
• 2 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cups cottage cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add spaghetti sauce and garlic powder.

Mix rice, eggs, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Mix 2 cups mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese in another bowl.

Spread half the rice mixture in a 3-quart baking dish, followed by half the cheese mixture and half the meat sauce. Repeat layers. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese over the final layer of meat sauce.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.
