This is a really delicious tasting lasagna that is very easy to make and requires minimal ingredients.  I love it!
Lasagna

1 c. chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. crushed oregano
2 cans tomato soup
2 cans tomatoes of choice
1 pint cottage cheese
2 c. mozzarella, shredded
6 lasagna noodles
1/4 - 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese

Brown beef and onion; drain fat.
Add garlic, oregano, soup and tomatoes; simmer for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions.
Combine cottage cheese and mozzarella in a bowl.
In 9x13" baking dish layer:
3 noodles, 1/2 of meat sauce, cheese mixture, 3 noodles, remaining meat sauce.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Let set for 15 minutes before serving.

**If freezing:
After noodles have cooked and meat sauce has simmered allow ingredients to cool to room temperature.  Assemble in dish and freeze.

OR
Bake frozen at 350 until middle is hot, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
