One Pot Hamburger Helper Lasagna

One Pot Hamburger Helper Lasagna:  Well, I hate to say it, but I kind of really really enjoy the Hamburger Helper dinners. I made a lot of them when I was living on my own in college. However, I create these foods myself because, well, as a more responsible adult, I’m more aware of what I’m eating and would really like to know what’s in my food.

When I noticed this lasagna version of Hamburger Helper on the aisle with all the boxes of the product the last time I went grocery shopping, I realized it was my favorite. Being the culinary blogger that I am, I chose to make it myself rather than open a box.

Ingredients

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. Simmer for approximately 15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the sauce has 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.
