One of our favorite dishes for dinner is the stove-top lasagna made with Italian sausage from
Betty Crocker. We were 1st introduced to this dish back in January 2011 or so when Steven's sister, Christine and her husband came to visit us in Mississippi. They cooked us dinner one of the nights while visiting. We loved it & cook it often now. My fav. thing about this meal is that we always have left overs.
Ingredients:
1 lb bilk Italian pork sausage (we use ground spicy Italian sausage)
1 medium onion, cut in half , sliced (1/2 cup)
1 jar of chunky tomato pasta sauce (26-30oz)
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into thin small strips
We most often add orange & red bell peppers as well
3 cups of uncooked mini lasagna noodles or medium egg noodles (6oz)
2 1/2 cups of water
1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
1 cup of shredded Italian-style cheese blend or mozzarella cheese (4oz)
You can add basil if you prefer
We do not use mushrooms though it's in the original recipe
Directions:
1. In 12 inch skillet cook sausage & onion over medium-high hear, stirring often, until sausage is no longer pink... then drain.
2. Stir remaining ingredients expect for cheese and basil into sausage. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
3. Reduce heat to medium; simmer uncovered until pasta is tender.
4. Top with cheese & bake in oven until cheese is melted.
