Ingredients
1 lb 95% lean ground beef (may substitute Morningstar Farms sausage
crumbles)
4 oz low-fat shredded Italian cheese
½ cup 1% cottage cheese
1 cup egg substitute
½ cup white mushrooms, sliced
1 cup fresh bell peppers, diced
15-oz can diced petite tomatoes with basil and oregano
2 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
¼ tsp ground black pepper
10 sprays non-stick cooking spray
¼ tsp Italian seasonings

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Cook ground beef in a non-stick pan. Drain fat and remove beef from the pan.
3. In the same pan, sauté peppers and mushrooms.
4. Return beef to the pan with the peppers and mushrooms; add tomatoes with their juices. Season with pepper and Italian seasonings, heat through.

7. In a 9” x 9” pan, layer the lasagna. Spread beef mixture evenly on the bottom. Sprinkle with one-third of the cottage cheese, a quarter of the shredded cheese, and then sprinkle with Parmesan. Top with a crepe.
8. Repeat to make three more layers.
9. Top with any remaining meat or cheese mixture.
