Dutch Oven Lasagna
Ingredients
1 1/2 pound lean ground beef
1 can (23 ounce) spaghetti sauce
9 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
3 eggs
2 1/4 cups cottage or ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
13 lasagna noodles
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
3/4 cup hot water
Procedure
Preheat a 12" Dutch oven and brown the beef. When done,
remove beat to a large mixing bowl; add spaghetti sauce and mix well.
In another bowl, add the cottage or ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese (reserve a few ounces for later), eggs, and oregano; mix well.
Place the layers in the oven in the following order: Break
up four lasagna noodles into the bottom of the oven; spread about 1/3 of the meat mixture over the noodles; 1/2 the cheese mixture over the meat. Break up 5 lasagna noodles and place on top the previous layers; spread 1/2 the remaining meat mixture and the remaining cheese mixture.
Break up the remaining lasagna noodles and place over the cheeses; top with the remaining meat mixture. Pour hot water around the edges of the oven. Place the lid on the oven and bake at about 400 degrees one hour or until done.
Hints: This recipe works well with charcoal (12 on top and 12 on bottom). Pre-cooking the lasagna noodles may reduce cooking time.
