Yesterday I posted my base Pasta Sauce and today I’m cooking with it. Skillet Lasagna is a mash-up of different recipes, including my grandma’s classic lasagna.
My Grandma’s lasagna is one of the few pasta dishes that I’ll eat without complaining even though it has tomatoes. I don’t mind picking through them because the taste is so rocking awesome.
FREEZER MEAL: When cooking skillet lasagna I double the recipe and store a second dish. Before adding cheese to skillet, follow these instructions.
- Line a casserole dish with foil.
- Place a thin layer of noodle & meat mixture. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Repeat both layers.
- Allow the dish to cool completely.
- Place in freezer. Once frozen, grab the foil sides and place in a large Ziploc baggie.
- To cook, place meal back in casserole dish & allow to thaw in fridge.
- Cook for 30 minutes on 350 degrees or until heated through.
