wow this sounds good! what does it taste like? is it like a lasagna?? i love cottage cheese so i want to try this!

It's not quite like lasagna, there's not as much tomato flavor, and the cottage cheese (and green onions if you use an entire bunch like we do, lol) are the predominant flavors. But we like about any kind of cheesy casserole

If you really like the cheese, you can add a little extra cottage cheese and sour cream to make it creamier!
