Ingredients

1 pound Ground beef
½ Green bell pepper roughly chopped
½ Onion Diced
2 cloves Garlic minced
2 cups Crushed tomatoes
1 cup Chicken broth or water
½ cup Heavy cream
1 tablespoon Seasoned salt substitute kosher salt
1 tablespoon Garlic herb seasoning
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
½ tablespoon Sugar optional but recommended
8 dry Lasagna noodles broken into pieces
½ cup Parmesan cheese
2 cups Mozzarella shredded
1 cup Ricotta
Fresh basil leaves chopped for garnish

Instructions

Brown your ground beef in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until all of the pink is gone. Drain any excess grease.
Add the meat back into the skillet, and gently add your chopped bell peppers and onions directly into the skillet and saute them for about 2-3 minutes, just until they begin to get soft. Now add your minced garlic into the skillet and saute for another minute.
Gently pour your crushed tomatoes into the skillet with the meat mixture. Stir it around until everything is combined. Now add in your chicken broth or water, and your heavy cream into the skillet and stir to combine.
Now add in the seasonings including the seasoned salt, garlic and herb seasoning, and Italian seasoning, and sugar and stir it in until it is fully combined.
Add the broken up lasagna noodles directly into the skillet and mix them into the sauce. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Allow the stovetop lasagna to simmer for 15 minutes so that the noodles can get tender.
Be sure to open the lid and stir the lasagna every 5 minutes to make sure it is not sticking to the bottom of the skillet.
After 15 minutes, open the lid and sprinkle in the parmesan cheese. Stir it in until everything is combined. Next, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top of the lasagna. Then use a spoon to add dollops of the ricotta cheese directly over the top
Turn the heat off on the stove, and cover the skillet back up with a lid and let it sit for 5 minutes so that the cheeses can melt.
Sprinkle the lasagna with the fresh basil for garnish and flavor, and enjoy!
