Skillet Lasagna

My kids absolutely love it when I make lasagna. Lasagna is such a great dish that is even better the next day, if you have any left over!

Today, I was craving lasagna but didn't have the patience to wait hours to have it, so instead I created stovetop lasagna which is done at a fraction of the time of traditional lasagna. 

This recipe reminds me of those boxed helper meals, but made from scratch. It is just as easy to make it with better ingredients. Give this recipe a try and get #inthekitch!
