Anytime I can turn a classic dish that usually requires a lot of prep and time to make into a one-pot meal, I get pretty excited! A lazy girl’s dream come true! This lazy lasagna may not be authentic, but it sure is tasty and requires just a few simple ingredients and can be thrown together in about 15 minutes. You get to enjoy all of the wonderful flavors of the classic dish with without all the work! What’s not to love?
The 1st thing you will do is brown 1.5 lbs of ground beef with one diced onion and 6-7 minced garlic cloves.
Drain the grease and return to the pan. (As I always say, draining the grease is just a personal preference and is not necessary if you prefer not to.)
The next thing you will do is stir in 24 oz of your favorite spaghetti sauce (the recipe for my homemade sauce can be found here https://whatsmomcookin.com/homemade-spaghetti-sauce/), 2 cups of beef broth and 8 oz of broken up lasagna noodles.
You will then cover it with the lid, reduce heat to simmer and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the noodles from sticking together. This is what it will look like at this point.
Stir in 1 cup of cottage cheese, or you can use ricotta if you like.
This is optional but I like to sprinkle on some grated parmesan cheese.
Cover with 8 oz of shredded mozzarella and put uner the broiler for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
I like to serve this with a fresh salad and some garlic bread.
