Lazy Skillet Lasagna is just as good as the classic but it takes a lot less time to make in a skillet. Instead of spending all that time delicately layering your lasagna, just throw it all in the skillet and watch it bubble into a delicious meal.

Instructions

Heat a pan over medium high heat. When hot, add the ground beef and onion. As it cooks, crumble the beef. Once browned, remove from heat.
Drain any grease from the pan and add the garlic. Let sit for 30 seconds to become fragrant.
Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Pour in the beef broth, whisk or scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any browned bits.
Add the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and lasagna noodles.
Return the pan to medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lasagna noodles are cooked.
Add half the mozzarella cheese on top and let sit to thicken for 3-5 minutes. Serve with additional cheese sprinkled on top.

Notes

Prepare a larger batch and freeze individual portions for quick and convenient future meals. This is especially handy for busy weekdays.
Incorporate a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar for a subtle tangy flavor and depth.
For a vegetarian twist, swap the ground beef for plant-based alternatives like lentils, chickpeas, or meatless crumbles.
For a creamy variation, stir in a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half during the last few minutes of cooking.
