Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope spaghetti sauce mix, divided
  • 16 ounces hot roll mix
  • 1 cup warm water (120 degrees)
  • 12 ounces small curd cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)

Method

  • In large skillet, cook beef until no longer pink; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, water and 3 tablespoons spaghetti sauce mix; heat through.
  • In a large bowl, combine contents of flour and yeast packets from hot roll mix; add remaining spaghetti sauce mix. (This seemed like not enough dough and I opted to use my own dough adding the spaghetti sauce mix to that) and you could probably use a premade crust also.
  • if using the hot roll mix; Stir in warm water until dough pulls away from sides of bowl. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. or prepare your own dough.
  • Roll into a 17" X 12" rectangle. Transfer to a greased 15" X 10" x 1" baking pan; build up edges slightly.
  • spread cottage cheese over dough. Top with meat mixture and parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 5 minutes more til cheese it melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
