Easy Cheesy Lasagna

This Easy Cheesy lasagna recipe calls for uncooked lasagna pasta to be baked between layers of cheese and ground beef. But, sometimes, I lack the time for the long version, so for this recipe, you only need to layer a few times. This recipe is very basic and easy to make!

1x2x3x

• 1 pound ground beef (minced beef) - or turkey
• 1 small onion - diced
•  
  2 packs Italian blend shredded cheese
• 1 pack cream cheese - softened
•  
  1 pouch McCormick thick and zesty pasta seasoning
• 9 sheets lasagna sheets - partially cooked
• 1 medium egg
•  
  1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 jar pasta sauce - of your preferred pasta sauce. I use Bertoli tomato and basil
• ½ medium green pepper (green capsicum) - or red pepper, diced

Instructions

 

• Cook lasagna pasta according to package instructions. Do not cook all the way.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• combine softened cream cheese with egg and combine.
• Add 1 1/2 packages of the shredded cheese to the cream cheese mixture, add Italian seasoning and combine well, set aside.
• Saute peppers and onions over medium heat. Then add ground beef or turkey to the skillet, pour McCormick seasoning over meat, stir and cook until no longer pink.
• Add sauce to meat, season to your tastes—Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Pour 1 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 13×9 casserole dish.
• Layer 3 of the lasagna noodles in the dish cover with some of the cheese mixture, then add more sauce over the cheese.
• Repeat layers 2 more times.
• On the top of the lasagna, add the remaining half pack of cheese.
• Cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• The last few minutes of cooking, remove the foil so the cheese can brown some.
• Great with salad and garlic bread.
