Lazy Lasagna

2 pounds ground meat (beef and venison work well)

2 (12-ounce) jars no-sugar-added pizza or spaghetti sauce (see Note)

1½ tablespoons dried oregano

½ teaspoon Mineral Salt

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 to 2 doonks Pure Stevia Extract (optional)

2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed

1 (8-ounce) package ⅓ less fat cream cheese

1 (14-ounce) container 1% cottage cheese

2 large eggs

1 (8-ounce) piece part-skim mozzarella cheese, grated

¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (for sprinkling over top; green can is fine)

PEARL SAYS: I've made plenty of zucchini and eggplant lasagnas in the last few years, but they call for cutting the veggies into thin layers as faux noodles, and sometimes also require pre-cooking the veggies. I'm so over that. These days my life is way too busy for those extra steps; I need ultra-easy meals, so I thought about spinach. It's super cheap when you buy it in frozen bricks, it doesn't require cutting— hmmm—couldn't that work as a lasagna noodle layer? My children are not the hugest spinach fans, but they scarf this down and tell me it is the best lasagna ever! This is my go-to lasagna now; I've ditched all the others.
