Skillet Lasagna Recipe

My youngest daughter had dance last night and, since my wife was with her, I ended up making dinner for us. I've been in the mood for lasagna. But, I didn't have time to make one in the oven so I decided to make skillet lasagna instead.

This is actually something I used to make much more often when my wife was still working in the evening. It's easy to make and I can get about 8 servings for less than $10 (especially when I already have hamburger in my freezer).

Here's what you'll need:

1 pound of hamburger

1 or 2 jars of pasta sauce (1 jar for every 1/2 pound of lasagna)

1/2 pound or 1 pound of lasagna pasta (one pound makes about 8 large servings)

1 can of mushrooms

low-fat ricotta cheese

Instructions: 

Brown the hamburger and drain

Boil the lasagna pasta until it is almost fully cooked but still a little firm.

After this is done, combine the lasagna, hamburger and the rest of the ingredients in a large-enough skillet. I used the whole container of ricotta cheese when I made mine (what can I say, I love cheese) but you can add as much or as little as you prefer.

Let the lasagna simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is fully cooked and serve. When you're done, it should look something like this:
