Skillet Beef and Cheese Lasagna
This 30-minute Skillet Beef and Cheese Lasagna is a fast and easy way to enjoy lasagna flavors in a fraction of the time it takes to make a regular lasagna. Made with a simple beefy meat sauce, egg noodles, and cheese. Add a tossed green salad and garlic bread for a complete meal!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 3/4 cup yellow onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp each salt and pepper
- 1 (25) ounce jar favorite pasta sauce
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3 cups extra wide egg noodles
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet with fitted lid to medium heat. Add olive oil, beef and onions. Cook beef breaking into crumbles until no longer pink. Remove any excess grease.
- Add garlic and seasonings and cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1-minute. Add pasta sauce and water and bring to a medium simmer. Stir in egg noodles and bring back to a simmer. Place the lid on and cook about 7-minutes stirring once or twice in between. You want the noodles to be just under al dente and the sauce thickened. Note: Add more water if sauce is too thick and noodles need more time to cook.
- Turn the heat down to low and stir in parmesan cheese, cottage cheese and parsley. Top with mozzarella cheese and place the lid on to melt the cheese and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Allow to stand 5-minutes before serving.
Notes
Tips:
Meat substitutions-
Use ground turkey or sausage in place of ground beef, or use a combination of sausage and beef or turkey for additional flavor.
Additional seasonings and herbs-
Add in other flavorful seasonings like oregano and herbs de Provence. Fresh basil is a classic Italian flavor that adds a nice freshness.
Add fresh veggies for a complete meal-
Add additional vegetables like, mushrooms, spinach, peppers, and carrots. Simply sauté your veggie of choice with the garlic and seasonings.
