Skillet Meatball Lasagna

Lasagna is a favorite, but it can take way too long! This easy skillet meatball lasagna is my “lazy man’s” version of a family favorite!

Lasagna is one of the classic meals that has held up against the test of time. My parents grew up eating lasagna, I grew up eating lasagna and now my kids are growing up with lasagna. It’s one of the recipes that tend to satisfy most people.

This is what I love about lasagna: 1. It is such a hearty dish. The layers of meat, cheese, and all that sauce make this a stick-to-your-ribs sort of meal. 2. This is the meal to make when you need to serve a crowd.

Every lasagna recipe I have tried makes enough to feed a small army. And since it is so filling, you can serve up smaller squares. 3. The leftovers taste just as good as the day it was served and finally 4.

You can make so many variations of traditional lasagna. You can use ground beef or ground turkey, pepperoni or Italian sausage. You could change the pasta and make this baked spaghetti lasagna.

You can add spinach or other veggies and you can vary the cheese. You could even make a white sauce and use chicken like I did in this Skillet White Chicken Lasagna. It would certainly appear as though lasagna is the perfect meal.

This is what I do not like about lasagna. It is NOT a quick recipe. You need to plan ahead if you are going to make lasagna. You have to prep the meat, work on each layer and then allow time for the lasagna to bake.
2. This dish is not the best for small families. Even if you like leftovers, you’ll be eating lasagna for days.

3. Lasagna is not an ideal dish for those who are lactose intolerant or who just don’t care for cheese (like my own kids). So I’ve decided to make a lasagna recipe that takes what I love about lasagna and eliminates what I don’t like.

This skillet lasagna recipe is made in less than 30 minutes and in only one pot!

This recipe only requires a handful of ingredients and I’ll bet you have them in your kitchen already! Sprinkle cheese on top and broil until bubbly if desired or just serve as in.

This skillet meal is going to be added to my gyro skillet and my meatball skillet meal as one of my favorites! It is family-pleasing and easy for busy nights!

*NOTE* I used Farm Rich Frozen Italian Meatballs for this recipe. I thought they were the perfect flavor and size for this dish.
