Frying Pan Lasagna
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef ⓘ
- 1 tablespoon butter ⓘ
- 1 ounce spaghetti sauce mix (whatever size they come in) ⓘ
- 1 lb cream-style cottage cheese (full-fat is best) ⓘ
- 3 cups broad egg noodles, uncooked ⓘ
- 1 teaspoon salt ⓘ
- 1 teaspoon oregano ⓘ
- 1 teaspoon basil ⓘ
- 1 small bay leaf, crushed ⓘ
- 28 ounces tomatoes ⓘ
- 5 1/2 ounces tomato paste (small can) ⓘ
- 1 cup water
- 12 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut in slices (I use a mozarella ball) ⓘ
Instructions
- Melt butter in a heavy frying pan (or electric skillet). Brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a fork and spreading over the pan.
- Sprinkle with half the dry spaghetti sauce mix.
- Spoon on the cottage cheese.
- Top with the noodles.
- Sprinkle with remaining sauce mix, salt, oregano, basil & bay leaf.
- Combine the tomatoes, paste and water & pour over.
- Bring to a boil, lower heat, cover and simmer until noodles are tender - about 40 minutes. You may need to add a bit more water as needed during cooking (this seems to happen more when you make it stovetop).
- Top with strips of mozarella cheese, let soften & serve.
