One Pot Hamburger Helper Lasagna

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef (extra lean)
1 small onion (chopped)

3 cloves garlic (minced)
¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

¼ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

2 cups marinara sauce
8 ounce mafalda pasta (uncooked)

3 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
2 tablespoons parsley

Instructions

Cook the beef. The ground beef should be cooked in a big skillet over medium heat until it stops being pink and begins to brown. If necessary, drain off any surplus fat. It won’t be necessary to drain any extra fat if you use extra lean ground beef.

Add the spice, onion, and garlic. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped onion after adding them to the skillet. Add salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to the onion and sauté for three minutes, or until it becomes soft and translucent.

Pasta and drinks should be added. Stir everything together after adding the spaghetti, chicken stock, and marinara sauce. After bringing it to a boil, reduce the heat. Cook until the pasta is thoroughly done, about 15 minutes; most of the sauce should have been absorbed.

Complete the dish. Once the cheese has melted, stir it in and simmer for a further 30 to 1 minute.

After garnishing, serve. Add parsley as a garnish, and serve.

Notes

If you can’t find mafalda pasta, you can use any other small type such as farfalle, penne, shells, elbow, etc.

You can use ground chicken or turkey to reduce the fat content.

Make sure when you’re adding the liquids to the skillet to scrape the brown bits in the bottom of the skillet, they add delicious flavor!

Play around with cheeses, spices etc to make this dish your own. There are a ton of variations you can make with this base recipe.

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, this would make a great lunch for the next day. Make sure the hamburger helper has come to room temperature completely before proceeding. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

If you want to freeze your leftovers, let them cool completely, then freeze them in an airtight container. Your hamburger helper lasagna will stay fresh for up to 3 months if stored properly.
