Supreme Lasagna - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 lb ground beef
    1/2 lb mild Italian sausage
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
    1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes, undrained and cut up
    2 teaspoons dried basil, crushed
    1 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
    1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
    2 eggs
    1 lb cream-style cottage cheese
    3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
    2 tablespoons parsley flakes
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    8 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles, cooked, drained and rinsed
    2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
    3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Preparation
    Cook meats, onion and garlic in large skillet over med-high heat until meat is brown, stirring to separate meat; drain fat.
    Add tomatoes with juice, tomato paste, basil and marjoram.
    Reduce heat to low, cover; simmer 15 minutes, stirring often. Stir in mushrooms, set aside.
    Beat eggs in large bowl; add cottage cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix well.
    Place 1/2 of the noodles in bottom of greased 13x9-inch pan.
    Spread 1/2 of cheese mixture over noodles, 1/2 of meat mixture and 1/2 of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
    Repeat layers. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan.
    Bake in preheated 375 degree oven 40 to 45 minutes or until bubbly.
    Let stand 10 minutes.
    Note: I almost always substitute fresh mushrooms for canned, and sometimes substitute Italian seasoning for the basil and morjaram. I wanted to post the original recipe, but I think these substitutions make the recipe better.
