Dutch Oven Lasagna

I used a 12" deep. Next time, I will do a normal 12" dutch oven.

Begin by layering spaghetti sauce (recipe posted earlier), on bottom of dutch oven. Then layer oven ready lasagna noodles (may need to break to fit in dutch oven), then layer cottage cheese and cheddar cheese, then repeat. Do as many layers as you can fit in your dutch oven.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. 8-10 coals on bottom 14-16 coals on top.

We enjoyed this, and I hope you will enjoy it as well.

My Spaghetti Sauce

1 # 10 can crushed tomatoes
2/3 cup Spicy spaghetti seasoning mix
1 - 2 T. parsley
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. Rosemary and Garlic Seasoning
Chopped onion
Chopped green pepper
1 or 2 carrots sliced into coins
1 lb ground beef or sausage

Brown ground beef or sausage, with onions and green peppers. Mix all together. Bring to a boil and turn to low and let simmer at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

This gives me enough spaghetti sauce for 2 meals. I freeze it in a gallon size ziploc bag and date it. I have it for a day that I need a quick meal or take it camping with me.

I don't always put ground beef or sausage in this. Sometimes I make spinach lasagna and don't want to have the meat in there.

I hope you enjoy this. I haven't done it in a dutch oven yet, but you most definitely could.
