Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound extra lean ground beef
  • 2 green bell peppers, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 26 ounces jarred spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup fat free zesty Italian dressing
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend, optional
  • 8 oven ready lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces ((whole grain if possible))
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

Instruction

  • In a large saucepan or deep skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up into crumbles, until browned. Drain off any excess fat. (There may not be any if you are using extra lean ground beef.)
  • Stir in the green peppers, garlic, spaghetti sauce, water, dressing and Italian seasoning blend (if using). Bring mixture to a boil.
  • Stir in the broken lasagna noodles and cover. Cook on medium-low heat for 10 to 15 min. or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle with cheese; cover. Let stand 5 min. or until cheese is melted.
