This NEW 5 Ingredient Easy Skillet Lasagna is an absolute MUST MAKE! Made in just one skillet and perfect for the entire family.
I am all about one skillet meals lately, and this 5 Ingredient Easy Skillet Lasagna is an absolute favorite at our house. Filled with ground beef, your favorite marinara sauce, lasagna noodles, ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese. It’s simple yet incredibly satisfying.
I love this Easy Skillet lasagna for many reasons but to name a few–
- It only calls for 5 simple ingredients
- Made in ONE skillet
- Enjoy the coziness and deliciousness of lasagna but without hours of prep work!
Here are the 5 INGREDIENTS You will need!
- Grass-fed ground beef
- Marinara sauce
- Uncooked lasagna noodles
- Ricotta Cheese
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Olive oil, salt, and pepper (I don’t include these in the 5 ingredients as most of us have these items in our kitchens)
I obviously love keeping these 5 ingredient recipes extra simple, not only for myself but for you all, too! If you want to jazz it up, here are a few things you could add! — Fresh garlic, yellow onion, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, etc. etc.
How long will this last in the fridge?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and they should last for 3-4 days.
Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?
Absolutely! Feel free to sub ground turkey instead of the ground beef, however, turkey tends to be quite bland, so season accordingly. Spicy italian sausage would also be delicious- yum!
