Oh yeah, lasagna, I'm not going to go through the bother of baking it. It's a pain in the ass to get it right and I'd rather just go out to eat it somewhere. But I'll make pretend Mexican lasagna. Cut tortillas into strips about two inches wide. Cook up some ground beef with taco seasonings or whatever generic pretend Mexican seasonings that you prefer. Acquire refried beans (you can get the canned stuff-go ahead-it's easier). Get some shredded cheese, I like to use cheddar as sharp as I can find it. Now get yourself some red sauce-not Italian-it needs to be at least pretend Mexican like the taco beef. Start with a layer of the tortilla strips in the bottom of that dish that you were going to make lasagna in. Add a layer of sauce, beans, beef, cheese and then put more tortilla strips on top of it. Keep doing that until you get to the top of the pan with a layer of tortilla strips. Cover that with the red sauce and liberally sprinkle it with cheese. Go ahead and bake it. For how long? It doesn't matter. None of that shit is raw, just eat it when it looks good to you. You can top it with sour cream and jalapeno slices once it's on your plate.

I'm trying this.

And you need your own cooking show.

Throw some ketchup on them and Inmen will be tuning in

I'm going to be honest. When I initially read those posts I assumed it was trolling but now I'm not sure. ROFL

It might be because I normally eat cottage cheese cold (is it normal to eat it warm?) but I find the idea of it being in lasagna Eric Winston level disgusting.

As cdcox alluded to, I don't think ricotta was as widely available several decades ago, especially in smaller towns and rural areas. Growing up in small town Midwest in the 80s, I know I've seen it used in lasagna, but not since.

I eat a container of cottage cheese a week, but I can't mix it with anything.

I like sausage and spinach in my lasagna.

My ex use to make lasagna in a crook pot and it was awesome. I've never made lasagna myself but if i do i'll try the crook pot method for sure

Every time I make lasagna my asshole cat eats it smh

Can't leave a plate unattended for even 60 seconds without our cat sticking his face into lasagna.

Doesn't act that way about anything else. Lasagne fiend.
