Meh, I was kind of unimpressed. This meal takes a very long time to cook even though it's very basic. It didn't taste superb -- the cheese mixture masked all of the other ingredients. I'd recommend adding some seasonings. For how bland it tasted and how basic the cooking process is, you would think a 50 min prep time would taste amazing. Stick to regular lasagna.

I tried this last night and it was yummy! I even served it to company, pretty brave move not knowing how this would turn out, but would definately do it again. I used turkey instead of beef and I added some mushrooms to the cottage cheese mixture. Served with some fresh french bread, and salad couldn't have asked for a better quick easy meal that didn't heat up my kitchen.

This was very easy to make and quick enough to get on the table at a reasonable hour on a work night. It was a hit with the whole family, even my very picky 3 year old. I forgot to add the shredded cheese and we didn't even miss it. It definitely makes 6 servings. I took leftovers in my lunch and it was still delicious re-heated. I will be putting this in my file for sure!

I made this 2 weeks ago and my husband is still raving about it. The cheese mixture is so creamy and full of flavor. It is better than any layered lasagna that I have ever made...not as pretty, but definitly tastier!

The store didn't have mini lasagna so I used rotini pasta. The cheese mixture really added something different. Was pretty good and will make again.
