Here’s the thing about most homemade lasagnas: it takes a long time and you go through a lot of dishes and effort to get that loved meal on the table.
This skillet lasagna recipe only uses one dish and it’s ready in 30 minutes (plus, you don’t have to use the oven). Win!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 lb ground beef
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz lasagna noodles (about 1/2 a package), broken into 1" pieces
- 1 jar pasta sauce, 24 oz
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese
Directions
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the oil and onions and cook until slightly soft, about 3 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and salt and pepper and cook until all the way browned. Spoon out any excess grease if necessary.
- Add the lasagna noodles in an even layer on top of the ground beef mixture.
- Pour the pasta sauce and the water over the pasta and give the pan a shake to make sure the liquid gets down around the noodles and the ground beef.
- Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and let cook until the noodles are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Uncover and add the ricotta cheese in dollops around the pan. Spread it evenly over the top.
- Add the mozzarella cheese on top and cover until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Most dads are truly “the the guy that has everything.” That can make finding a Father’s Day gift feel daunting. Before you resort to yet another tie, consider some fun items he could enjoy with the family, or even trendy items. Some trends happen because they truly are products people love, not just for a name brand.
Here’s a list of great Father’s Day gift ideas. While I may have linked to a specific brand, consider it an idea and hunt for similar options if something listed isn’t quite in your budget.
Tip: If you have siblings, this is a great holiday to pool your resources and get something bigger while keeping it affordable for everyone.
Father’s Day Gift Ideas
3D Printer starting around $200
The Creality Ender 3 V3 is a top seller on Amazon with over 26,000 reviews. These are perfect for a techy dad that enjoys messing around. There are files you can download online or he can create his own designs. Send the file straight to the printer and he’s off creating! We gave one to my husband 3-4 years ago and he’s made everything from small figures for the kids to actually useful things like a tightener for my daughters cello bow that she wasn’t strong enough to do herself (we are pondering selling that creation now).
Banjo, Mandolin, Guitar
Have a dad that likes to pick at music? Consider adding to his collection with a smaller stringed instrument. He can find tons of youtube videos and online tutorials or just enjoy picking out his own tunes. Most of these start around $80 for decent instruments and can go as high as you want.
Tip: Look at local pawn shops or even on facebook marketplace for cheaper used options.
