Sarah's Impossible-to-Mess-Up-Lasagna

Most of our children really like lasagna and request it much more often than I make it.  Then I remembered that Sarah had shared her easy version of lasagna in our recipe exchange.  We like it and it IS so easy! Our sons are just returning from the Father Son's Camp Out and are hungry, so I'm glad it's ready to come out of the oven!   I hope you enjoy it sometime soon too.  
Sarah's Impossible-to-Mess-Up-Lasagna
Cook one package of lasagna noodles according to package directions (adding a small amount of olive oil to your boiling water will make the pasta easier to work with later).  
Drain hot water and allow noodles to cool. (I usually run pour cold water over them and then leave a little water over them so they don't stick together)

In a large skillet, cook 1 lb of hamburger or turkey burger and drain it.
Add 1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce,
Add 3-4 oz. of sour cream,
Add 3-4 oz. of cottage cheese,
Add 8 ounces shredded cheese of your choice,

Spread a small amount of sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Alternately layer noodles and 1/3 of sauce in three layers and top with more cheese.
Cook for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. You can put the oven on broil for the last 3-4 minutes, to bubble and brown the cheese.

If you're doubling or tripling the recipe, you can easily make THREE 9x13 pans with 2 packages of 16 ounce lasagna noodles.
You can also stretch the sauce by just adding another jar of spaghetti sauce, but not adding more meat.
