You will want to invest in a good cast iron skillet. Good news is that you can snag one on Amazon for cheap – they are on sale right now.

Ingredients:

• ground beef – Italian Sausage and ground turkey are also good.
• lasagna noodles
• olive oil
• onion
• minced garlic – garlic powder is another great option.
• salt and pepper
• Italian Seasoning (Try red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.)
• Crushed tomatoes- You can also add marinara sauce if you want to thin out the lasagna.
• water
• mozzarella cheese
• ricotta cheese – optional but really delicious for topping each serving. Cottage cheese is also a good substitute.
• parsley

How to make Skillet Lasagna:

• First, heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet.
• Second, brown the ground beef, onions and garlic together in the pan. Add the salt, pepper and Italian Seasoning.

• Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent. Go ahead and drain any excess grease from the pan.
• Now, pour the crushed tomatoes and water in. Break the lasagna noodles into small pieces and add those too.
• Let the mixture come to a boil and cover and turn the heat to low. Continue to cook for 15-20 minutes or until the noodles are tender.

• Finally, top with the shredded cheese and cover again so the cheese can melt.
• We like to top each bowl with a spoonful of ricotta cheese and a sprinkle of parsley.

Serving ideas:

• 15 Minutes Stuffed Cheesy Bread– Perfect for dipping into the sauce.
• Garlic bread – learnhow to freeze garlic bread.
• Salad- Use all your favorite veggies and toppings.
