Here's the story behind this recipe.

There was a point in time when my husband was having eye trouble and no one could figure it out. Gotta remember, he's an eye doctor. He had all his buddies stumped.

We spent a day at Hopkins where they strapped him in this chair that spun in circles and all this other crazy stuff. You think he'd gone to the amusement park. We spent many hours waiting for different procedures to be done.

When we returned home some dear friends arrived at the door with dinner.

They brought Mexican lasagna and salad.
Everyone one of us loved the dish. She was kind enough to share it and now I'm happy to share it with you.

3/4 lb. ground beef, cooked and drained
1 t. onion powder
1/2 t. garlic powder
1 package of Taco saesoning
2-8 oz. cans tomato sauce
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1 cup sour cream
Tortilla chips
8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese
sliced jalepeno peppers (optional)

Add all seasonings and tomato sauce to the meat.

Mix the cottage cheese and sour cream together.

Make 3 layers beginning with 1/3 chips (enough to cover the bottom. They replace noodles from regular lasagna), followed by meat, white mix, and cheddar cheese. Repeat layers 2 more times.

350 oven, 30 minutes.

YUM!!! I might even try that tonight. Sounds delish. Good bye Atkins....

Hey, what happened with your husband's eyes. You left us hanging.

Maggie, glad you liked it. I've found it's a hit with kids.

I need to take a recipe to a shower I am going to tomorrow. I will probably use this one. It's different enough, but something eveyone likes.
