Ready for a bit of Midwestern comfort food? My midwestern mom’s recipe for lasagna and a bit of heaven in a casserole dish.

Lasanga was a special occasion meal at my house. Not because it was a complicated recipe, but because it was a family favorite.

It was over a steaming hot plate of this lasagna and some garlic bread that my husband officially fell in love with my mom. As we sat around the table, digging into the gooey lasagna, Jesse started to positively gush.

Mom gave one of those, “this old thing” waves of the hand and dished him out another piece.

I am sure at this point you are wondering what makes this ‘midwestern lasagna’ different from regular old’ lasagna. Especially coming from the land of hot dish (aka Minnesota).

It is cottage cheese!
