15 Minute Lasagna

posted in Recipes on 7/29/2015

This lasagna recipe is super easy; everything cooks in one large skillet on the stove top, and the noodles do not need to be pre-boiled!

These are the ingredients you'll need to prepare this dish. I have listed all of them on the next page :)

INGREDIENTS: -½ lb lean ground beef -2 cups diced onion -2-3 garlic cloves, minced -1 (9.6 oz) bag Jimmy Dean pre-cooked turkey sausage crumbles OR ½ lb cooked pork breakfast sausage -8 oz (about 10) lasagna noodles, broken into ¼ths -1 (10 oz) can Ro-tel diced tomatoes (or regular diced tomatoes) -1 cup tomato sauce -2 cups water -salt and pepper to taste, about ½ teaspoon each -1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded -4 oz fresh mozzarella pearls

DIRECTIONS: First, brown the ground beef and diced onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat. If you can’t find the pre-cooked turkey sausage crumbles, go ahead and brown 1/2 lb breakfast sausage here with the beef and onions. Drain any excess grease if necessary, then turn heat to medium. Add 2-3 cloves minced garlic and stir for one minute until fragrant.

Next add the pre-cooked sausage and broken lasagna pieces. Then, top with diced tomatoes & tomato sauce. Then pour over 2 cups of water and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Give it a quick stir as best you can to combine, then cover and simmer over medium to medium-low heat. While cooking, give it a shake occasionally to evenly distribute the noodles as they soften.

In 15-minutes you’ll have delicious, saucy noodles. Turn off the heat, top with cheese, and stir to combine. Generously top with mozzarella pearls, and broil in the oven for 3-4 minutes until golden and bubbly. Top with fresh basil and grated parmesan cheese if desired.
