Lasagna with Cream Cheese
Description
This lasagna dish is so easy to make and just a little different than the traditional recipe. The cream cheese is substituted for ricotta or cottage cheese typically used. The result is a much creamier dish.
Ingredients
1 lb. ground sausage, cooked and crumbled ( or beef or turkey can be used )
24 oz. favorite pasta sauce
8 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
8 oz. sour cream
salt and pepper
8 oz. shredded Mozzarella cheese, divided
1 c. grated Parmesan cheese, divided
6 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook ground meat, crumbling while cooking; discard excess grease.
Mix together pasta sauce, 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese, ground meat; season to taste; set aside.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, add cream cheese, remaining 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese, sour cream and half of the Mozzarella cheese; mix well; set aside.
Spoon a bit of sauce to lightly cover the bottom a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Lay 3 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture across the noodles evenly. Evenly spread half of the pasta sauce mixture across the noodles. Repeat with the remaining cream cheese mixture, noodles and sauce. Top with remaining shredded Mozzarella cheese.
Cover with foil; bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil; cook for 20 minutes or until cheese is slightly browned and bubbly. Remove from oven; let sit for 15 minutes before slicing.
