One Pot Skillet Lasagna

Thanks for sharing!

All of the flavors of lasagna cooked in one skillet on the stove.  One pot skillet lasagna makes it possible to get it done on a weeknight and without a ton of dishes!

Get the flavor of lasagna in a fraction of the time! This easy one pot meal gives you big taste with a lot less effort.

Now you can have lasagna on a weeknight, or a busy night or just because.  Make sure you always have these ingredients on hand so dinner is always less than an hour away.

If there’s one thing I can almost guarantee is going to be a hit at our house, it’s anything lasagna inspired. Or tacos. But mostly the lasagna thing!

There is just something about the flavors and textures of lasagna that make us so happy. Then there’s the melty cheese. We are all suckers for cheese around here!

The only problem is lasagna takes so long to make. Even if you don’t boil the pasta, there’s still a fair number of steps to make it happen.

By the time you get the meat browned and the layers made the effort has you hungry to dig in, but you still have to throw it in the oven and let it bake to perfection. It’s totally worth the effort, but not exactly an easy weeknight meal.

So what do you do when you come home from work on a Wednesday night craving lasagna? You improvise, of course!

We have been loving experimenting with one pot meals.  The one pot taco pasta was a hit and so is the bbq pulled pork and rice skillet. 

So I just knew I could get our favorite flavors put together in a quick and easy one pot dinner.

I made our yummy dinner in my favorite 3 quart braiser and it almost didn’t hold all of the goodness. I’d definitely grab a larger pot next time that way there’s plenty of room in case anything else decided to leap into the pot.

Hey, you never know what might happen in my kitchen. I’m sort of known for throwing in a little of this and that or adding whatever bits and pieces I have laying around.

But really, this doesn’t need anything else. With all of the sausage, sauce, cheese and pasta it is a lasagna lover’s dream come true.
