Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess fat.

Stir in the spaghetti sauce, 1 tablespoon of parsley flakes, oregano, and basil. Simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors, then set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick, milk, creamed cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, shredded zucchini, and remaining 1 tablespoon of parsley flakes. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
-
Spread half of the meat sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
-
Pour the Bisquick batter mixture over the meat sauce and spread it evenly to cover the layer.
-
Top with the remaining meat sauce, spreading it gently over the batter layer.
-
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
-
Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow layers to set.
