(My DH of Eastern European descent loves this meal)

3 cups mashed potatoes
4 medium-sized onions
2 tbsp oil
1/3 cup cheddar cheese
3 slices bacon, fried & chopped (or 1/3 cup chopped garlic sausage)
2 cups cottage cheese
1 egg
1/4 tsp onion powder
salt & pepper to taste
6 lasgna noodles
small (160 ml) can evaporated milk

Cook the noodles as directed on the package and set aside.

Chop 3 of the onions and fry in oil until soft.
Add the fried chopped onions, cheddar and bacon to the mashed potatoes and mix well.

Slice the remaining onion and fry, adding more oil if necessary.

Beat the egg and add to the cottage cheese with the onion powder, salt & pepper.

Grease a lasagna or 7 X 9 1/2 pan and heat the oven to 350 F.

Put 2 lasagna noodles in the pan. Spread with the cottage cheese mixture. Cover with 2 more noodles and top with the potato mixture. Place the last 2 noodles on top and cover with the fried sliced onions.

Pour the evaporated milk over the entire casserole.

Bake 45 minutes.

Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve with sour cream.
