Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the container
Heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F. Lightly grease your large heat-safe container so serving is easier later.
Brown the beef
Add the ground beef to a skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until it’s no longer pink and most moisture has cooked off.
Simmer the sauce
Pour in the tomato sauce. Season with salt and black pepper, then simmer 5–8 minutes so it thickens slightly.
Mix the cottage cheese layer
In a bowl, combine cottage cheese and eggs. Stir until evenly blended; a quick whisk makes it smoother.
Layer everything
Spread a thin layer of meat sauce on the bottom. Add spoonfuls of the cottage cheese mixture, then sprinkle mozzarella. Repeat until you run out, finishing with mozzarella on top.
Bake
Bake 35–45 minutes, until the top is melted and lightly browned. If it browns too fast, loosely cover with foil.
Rest and serve
Let it sit for 10 minutes so the layers set up a bit. Slice and serve warm.
