Rice Lasagna

**One of Paul's favorites!

4 cups instant rice
4 cups water
1 1/2 cans of Hunts spaghetti sauce
1 large container of small curd cottage cheese
1 lb. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 lbs. hamburger meat
Preheat oven to 350º. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 4 cups of instant rice, cover with lid and take off heat. Cook hamburger meat until thoroughly cooked. Then add 1 1/2 cups Hunts spaghetti sauce. Mix 1 large container of cottage cheese with 1 lb. shredded mozzarella cheese in a large bowl. Spray bottom of 13 x 9 baking pan with cooking spray. Lay a thin layer of meat/sauce mix on the bottom of the pan. Add the rice in one large layer. Then add a portion of the cheese blend, save enough of the cheese blend to add a thin layer on the very top. Add the remaining meat/sauce mix. Then finish with the remaining cheese blend. Cover baking pan with foil and cook for 45 minutes to an hour, until cheese is melted on top.
