Recipe #133: Skillet Lasagna

I had this growing up and always loved it, and when I introduced it to Nick, it was an instant hit.  Made it for dinner last night for movie night with the girls, and doubled the recipe.  Don't be fooled by how simple this is:  The flavor is awesome.  Nick ate for two people.  The leftovers are fantastic!

INGREDIENTS

1lb ground beef

8oz shredded Mozzarella or Italian mix cheese

3c penne, ziti, mostaciolli (etc) noodles

1 jar pasta sauce

DIRECTIONS

Brown meat in skillet, drain if necessary.  Add 2.5c water, bring to a boil.  Add noodles and cover, cooking 15 minutes and adding water and stirring as necessary to prevent burning or sticking.  When noodles are cooked and water is absorbed, pour in pasta sauce and cheese, mixing thoroughly.  Heat through and serve.  Makes 4-5 servings.
