Lazy Beef Lasagna

July 12, 2020

Lasagna has always been a favorite around our house.

That’s an understatement. My family is low key obsessed over lasagna. Like the kind of obsessed that we eat lasagna for Easter and Thanksgiving. That’s not a joke. Mom found a recipe that is to die for, even though we all joke that it’s her extra ingredient of “love” that makes it so good.

Lasagna is a time consuming task though, so I haven’t made it very often. When I came across this recipe for “Lazy Lasagna” I was so excited! One of my favorite meals and now it’s easy to make? Count me in!

This recipe is from Beef, It’s What’s For Dinner. If you ever need dinner ideas, head to this site! It has millions and you can look for a recipe by the cut of beef. 10/10 recommend.

Uncover; continue baking 15 to 20 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and pasta is tender.
