Description

This Best Skillet Lasagna recipe is a quick and easy one-pan meal that combines the classic flavors of traditional lasagna with a simplified cooking method. Perfect for busy weeknights, it features ground beef, bow tie pasta, spaghetti sauce, and a blend of cheeses all cooked together in one skillet for a comforting and cheesy dinner.

Ingredients

Meat

  • 1 pound ground beef

Pasta

  • 12 ounces bow tie pasta

Other Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 26 ounces spaghetti sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • ½ cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
  2. Cook the pasta: While the beef is cooking, prepare the bow tie pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the pasta well.
  3. Combine pasta with olive oil and sauce: Return the drained pasta to the skillet, drizzle with olive oil, and stir in the spaghetti sauce until the pasta is well coated.
  4. Add beef and seasonings: Add the browned ground beef back to the skillet along with salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and sour cream.
  5. Mix and melt: Stir all ingredients together thoroughly. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese melts and the flavors combine.
  6. Finish with additional cheese: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top and allow it to melt for an extra cheesy finish before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • For extra veggies, consider adding chopped spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers before mixing in the sauce.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Sour cream adds creaminess but can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
