Lasagna Any Night

I absolutely love lasagna. What's not to love... Melted cheese, meat, noodles... All good stuff. And, honestly, you can toss together a pretty good lasagna in an hour or so.

But, if you don't have an hour I have a great option that I found in Kraft Food & Family. Lasagna goodness in under an hour. Toss a quick salad and you have a complete meal.

Ingredients:

1 lb. lean ground beef (or use Italian Sausage for more spice or ground turkey for less fat)
2 green peppers, chopped (optional- I opted out)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jar (26 oz.) spaghetti sauce
1-2/3 cups water
1/4 cup Italian Dressing
12 oven-ready lasagna noodles, broken into quarters (I use Barilla but **you can use regular noodles)
1 cup Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese

Directions:

Brown meat in large saucepan; drain.

Add peppers, garlic, spaghetti sauce, water and dressing; bring to boil. Stir in noodles; cover.

Cook on medium-low heat 10 to 15 min. or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheese; cover. Let stand 5 min. or until cheese is melted.

**Want more ooey-gooey cheese? Stir 1/2 c. Ricotta in before adding Mozzarella.

**Substitute 12 regular lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces, for the oven-ready noodles. Increase water to 2 cups and cook 30 min., stirring occasionally.
