Description
A quick and tasty one-pot beef lasagna recipe that is easy to prepare and perfect for a family meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 12 lasagna noodles, broken into pieces
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, broken lasagna noodles, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
- Once the noodles are cooked, remove the pot from heat and stir in the ricotta cheese until well combined. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Cover the pot again and let it sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with a mix of sautéed mushrooms and spinach.
- Add a layer of sautéed zucchini or bell peppers for extra vegetables and flavor.
