About

If certain cartoon cats are to be believed, lasagna is everyone's favorite. Stovetop Lasagna brings those slow-cooked flavors to the table with a speed and ease that would make that orange-striped feline proud. Stovetop Lasagna has the creamy cheese, sweet tomato sauce, and tender noodles you expect from an oven lasagna, as well as a beefy, savory filling. You'll love every stretchy, hearty bite, even (or especially) on Mondays.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef, 90% lean
  • 1 (24-ounce) jar pasta sauce
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 large sweet red pepper, chopped
