Description
This one pan Skillet Lasagna has all the same ingredients and flavors as a traditional meat lasagna but with minimal prep and is ready in just 40 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 6-8 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles, broken
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat add ground beef. Stir well and break up the beef into small pieces and cook until evenly browned but not fully browned yet, about 5 minutes.
- Add in onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook until the meat is evenly browned and is no longer pink. The onion should also start to soften.
- Add half of the marinara sauce, a layer of broken uncooked lasagna noodles.
- Add the remaining marinara sauce on top.
- Bring to a boil and then cover and turn the heat down to medium. Allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the noodles are tender. You may need to occasionally add in some water if you find the sauce is getting dry. You may also want to occasionally stir the noodles into the meat sauce.
- Add a few dollops of ricotta cheese on top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Cover with mozzarella cheese.
- Turn the broiler on high and broil for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden. Serve with fresh chopped parsley on top.
Notes
How to store: After the skillet and lasagna cool completely, transfer any leftover lasagna to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Do not store your lasagna in a cast-iron skillet.
How to reheat: The best way to reheat it is in a covered oven-safe dish for 10-20 minutes in a preheated 375F oven. You can also reheat in the microwave.
