Skillet Lasagna

Lasagna is one of my favorite foods, and my favorite way to make it is the same way that my mom always did.  However, a new recipe caught my eye and I just had to try it.  Lasagna?  From a skillet?  What?

First you put about 3/4 of a can of spaghetti sauce in a skillet, along with 3 cups of water, turn the burner on high, allowing the mixture to come to a boil.

As that begins to cook, break half a box of lasagna noodles into quarters.

 

When the sauce has begun to boil, turn down the heat to about medium and put the noodles into the skillet.  Stir occasionally as the noodles begin to cook.

 

While the noodles cook, brown some ground beef (either 1/2 lb to 1 lb) and drain.  When the lasagna noodles are cooked, add the ground beef.  Continue to stir as the sauce thickens.  Add 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese into the dish, and mix it all together.  The cheese will probably melt so much that it dissolves, but don't worry, you can still taste it!  The longer you wait to add the cheese, the less likely it will be to dissolve.


 

When everything is cooked through, sprinkle more cheese on top, and add a little parsley if you would like.

 

We topped off our meal with some delicious garlic bread.  There was leftover homemade bread that my husband had made.  We buttered it, and added, garlic, salt, and parsley, cooking it in the oven at 325 for about 10-15 minutes.  It was scrumptious!
