Рецепт Easy Skillet Lasagna {Perfect Easy Weeknight Meal}
Pin It
There are days I love being in the kitchen, and there are some days that I just hate it. I don't know why, I guess everyone has their moments. On days like that I'm always looking for easy meals to get me in and out of the kitchen rather quickly.
Lasagna is one of my favorite comfort foods, but it can be very time consuming to prepare. Full on lasagna is great for the weekends, but not for a busy weeknight meal. Today I want to share an easy alternative to regular lasagna.
I was poking around on the Pillsbury page and came across this recipe for Skillet Lasagna. This easy skillet meal that has all the classic lasagna ingredients with lots of cheesy goodness. It reminds me of Hamburger Helper Lasagna, but better. Lasagna Helper is one of my daughter's favorite so she loved this meal.
From start to finish this dish took literally 30 minutes to make. Pair it with a vegetable, salad and rolls for a quick and comforting weeknight meal. I'm betting you already have everything in your pantry to make this, so I hope you'll give it a try.
