Speedy Skillet lasagna is a quick lasagna recipe with all the traditional flavors but will be on the table in less than 30 minutes to fill up your hungry family. A few weeks back I made the steak sandwiches out of the Gooseberry Patch Weeknight Dinners Cookbook. This week, the Speedy Skillet Lasagna was a big hit and only dirtied one pan.
How to Make One-Pan Skillet Lasagna
Start by cooking up a pound of ground beef along with a ¼ cup of onion and ½ cup carrot that are chopped in a Dutch Oven until the meat is no longer pink.
Drain any excess grease and then uncooked pasta along with the remaining ingredients except for the cheese.
Heat to a boil and then turn down to a simmer for 10 minutes or until your pasta is tender. I might have also added a bit of brown sugar and balsamic vinegar.
Continue cooking til pasta is tender. Right before the lasagna is done cooking, I stirred in a quarter cup of cream.
Then sprinkle with about 2 cups of Mozzarella or Italian shredded cheese.
With the carrots, mushrooms and tomato sauce this skillet lasagna is a fairly nutritious meal to oblivious hungry kids. Of course, we all ate our weight in warm 3-cheese bread too.
