Pepper Steak - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. round steak, cut 1/2-inch thick
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 3/4 c. water
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 3/4 c. water
2 large green peppers, cut in strips
1/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. cooking oil
1/2 c. onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. beef flavored gravy
1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 (8 oz.) can tomatoes, drained
hot cooked rice
1 lb. hamburger or ground turkey
32 oz. jar spaghetti sauce (Francisco Rinaldi)
9 lasagna noodles
24 oz. low-fat cottage cheese
1 or 2 eggs (optional)
salt
pepper
Italian seasoning
garlic powder
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese, grated
8 oz. grated low-fat Mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Brown meat, draining off and discarding fat.
Heat oven to 350\u00b0.
Pour 1/2 cup sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Top with 3 noodles (the noodles won't quite fill the bottom).
Just space them evenly and they will expand to fill gaps. Mix cottage cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.
Top with 1/3 of the cheese mixture, mashing it with your fingers or a fork to spread it around the noodles.
It won't be even, but that's okay.
Top with 1/3 of the sauce.
Next layer:
3 noodles, cottage cheese, meat and sauce. Top layer:
3 noodles, cottage cheese, rest of sauce, 8 ounces grated Mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour.
Remove cover and bake 15 minutes longer.
Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
Serves 6.
