This Easy Skillet Lasagna supper is made with ground beef, onion, garlic, beef broth, Italian diced tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and pasta.
A SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS ONE PAN MEAL
If you are looking for a super simple supper. look no further than this easy skillet lasagna recipe. This is one of my family's favorite weeknight meals. It makes for awesome leftovers too. I always try to buy ground beef when it's on sale and keep a bunch in the freezer. All the other ingredients are pretty much pantry ingredients that you may already have on hand.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS EASY ONE PAN DINNER:
- This can be made with ground sausage or ground turkey.
- You can use any type of pasta that you prefer. I usually always have rotini pasta on hand. If you can find Mafalda pasta, it is shaped like little lasagna noodles.
- For a little extra spice, try adding some red chili flakes.
- Try adding a dollop of ricotta cheese to really bring out that lasagna flavor!

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- ground beef
- small onion
- garlic
- beef broth
- Italian diced tomatoes
- Italian seasoning
- mafalda or rotini pasta
- shredded mozzarella cheese
- shredded or grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional)

HOW TO MAKE SKILET LASAGNA MEAL:
Brown and crumble ground beef (along with diced onions and garlic) over medium heat.

Drain excess grease. Stir in broth and undrained tomatoes and Italian seasoning.

Bring to a boil. Stir in uncooked pasta and simmer for 12-14 minutes until pasta is tender.

The longer you simmer this, the more liquid the pasta will absorb. So if you want a thicker mixture, just let it simmer longer. Stir in mozzarella cheese (I used more than the recipe called for - about a cup.)

Serve and top with shredded Parmesan or more Mozzarella cheese.

Loved the Easy Skillet Lasagna. If I had read the recipe right to begin with I would have understood why my noodles were sticking. First, I only used 2 cups of beef broth (water mixed with Knorr's bouillon) instead of 28 oz. Second, I did not use a nonstick pan. Having said that I kept adding more water and it turned out fine. Well better than fine, it was great! Followed the recipe except substituted half ground turkey/half Italian sausage for beef and used fire roasted garlic canned tomatoes plus added fennel seed. I will definitely make this one again! Thank you so much for sharing!!
