Skillet Lasagna

skillet lasagna

Lasagna is one of our favorite dishes. However, unless you put it in the crock pot (which I’ve done, it’s delicious, and will be sharing later), it seems to take forever from prep to layering, and then cooking to the dinner table. This skillet lasagna uses oven ready noodles, your favorite sauce. lot’s of cheese, and a secret ingredient that will have this on your table in 30 minutes or less. Now that is my kind of lasagna!

This is perfect for those nights where you don’t have a lot of time, your questioning take out, and your kids are hungry. Turn on a 30 minute tv show, pull out a fun game, or put them to work in the kitchen with you, and dinner will be ready in no time flat. You’ll be eating something far more healthier than take out, and your family will eat this up.

Scroll down for a printable version.


What do you need?
1 pound ground beef
1 green pepper, washed, seeded, and sliced
1 onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 jar spaghetti sauce (we use Simply Balanced from Target)
1 2/3 cup water
1/4 Italian dressing (we use Hidden Valley Farmhouse Originals, it’s soy free)
12 oven-ready lasagna noodles, broken into squares
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

What do you do?
Heat one tablespoon oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
Add your pepper, onion, and garlic. Sauteing until the garlic is fragrant.
Add your ground beef, and cook until no longer pink.
Add water, dressing, and sauce.
Bring to a boil and add your noodles.
Cover and cook on medium low heat 10-15 minutes or until your noodles are tender. Stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with cheeses, cover, and let stand 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

      So glad to help! Don’t ya hate all the effort it takes to make lasagna, and then to have it do that?! Make this next time, and save all that time and effort for something else. 🙂

    I’ve never made lasagna before but my son recently discovered Garfield (thanks Netflix!) and has been begging for some! This seems more my speed starting out! Thanks for the share!

    Found you at Modesty Mom Monday

      August 10, 2015 at 7:37 PM

      I will pull out all the stops and make lasagna once a year. But, I have no idea why, because this tastes the exact same, with far less time and effort! 🙂 Btw, love that your son is watching Garfield! I love old school shows like that!

  • SWEET & SPICY BACON WRAPPED LITTLE SMOKIES hit all the right taste buds! They are so good you can’t stop eating them…Perfect for game day or a holiday party snack! .
. https://www.everydaymadefresh.com/sweet-spicy-bacon-wrapped-little-smokies/ .
.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound thick cut bacon
1 package little smokies
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. If making these to bake now, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Otherwise, do this when you're ready to bake them.

2. In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar and chili powder. Set aside.

3. Line a baking sheet with foil. 
4. Measure out how much bacon to roll for each little smokie. I got about three little smokies per slice of bacon. It's gonna depend on the thickness of the bacon, etc. 
5. Roll the little smokie up, secure with a tooth pick and thoroughly coat with the brown sugar mixture. Place on baking sheet, and repeat until you've rolled all the little smokies up. If you have extra bacon, just coat it with the brown sugar mixture and bake it as well. So good!! 6. When ready to bake, bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp along the edges. .
