Lasagna

Tonight, hubby said that the lasagna I made is the best I've ever made to date. It's in the consistency, I guess, and in my use of the sauces that he is familiar with.

Ingredients:
- 4 slices of lasagna noodles
- about 1.5 to 2 cups 1% milkfat cottage cheese
- 1 to 1.5 cup canned spaghetti sauce
- 80% lean ground beef
- 1/4 of a small onion
- 1 slice of green pepper
- 1 tp garlic powder
- dash of pepper, cumin, cinnamon
- 1 tp each of dried marjoram, thyme, oregona
- 1/4 cup red wine
