Lasagna Biscuit Cups

Lasagna is one of my all-time favorite foods, but it isn't an easy weeknight meal.  My homemade lasagna is usually an all-day process, so I came up with this quick alternative.  These lasagna biscuit cups have all the flavor of lasagna without all the work.  I used cottage cheese in this dish, but you can substitute ricotta cheese if you aren't a cottage cheese fan.  We both absolutely loved this dish.  I could have eaten the whole batch by myself.  They were also good reheated for lunch the next day.
