Easy Skillet Lasagna is one of those quick and easy one dish dinners that we all love.
My family loves lasagna and although I love lasagna, I don’t really like the time it takes to make a pan of lasagna for a weeknight meal.
Easy Skillet Lasagna though is a great substitute for it because it has all the flavors of lasagna, but in an easy one dish meal that I can have on the table in 30 minutes or less.
It is simple and delicious and we all need more meals like that.

Saw this yesterday and realized I had most the ingredients on hand so I made it for dinner. It was a BIG hit! Even my non-lasagna loving kid liked it! I will NEVER make traditional lasagna again. I liked this better – not as heavy!
Thanks for sharing!
I started making my lasagna in the crockpot – not sure I’ll ever go back to baking it! With ground beef already cooked in the freezer along with shredded cheese, I can assemble it quickly during my lunch hour and it’s ready when I get home at 5. And the kids love it!
Thanks for this wonderful recipe! I had leftover spaghetti sauce that needed a facelift, so I cooked my noodles separately, stirred them in, and then added the cheese ingredients. Delicious, and it helped me clean out my fridge!
Thank you for this easy recipe making it for the 2nd time tonite.
