Lazy Lasagna

This is my lazy version of lasagna. Will it taste the same as your grandma's? Probably not... But, does it get the job done? Yes! This is delicious and is unfortunately more of a comfort food than a health food. Exercise portion control on this bad boy :) 

Lazy Lasagna

Ingredients:

1 lb of ground beef (or ground turkey or chicken) 

1 bag of mozzarella cheese (shredded) 

2 cans of tomato sauce 

1 bag of cheese ravioli 

Directions: 

preheat oven to 400 degrees 

make ravioli according to package directions 

brown meat in separate pan and drain off all extra fat 

in 13x9 pan, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce, add a layer of ravioli, a layer of meat, and a layer of cheese. Add a second layer of ravioli, meat, sauce, and cheese. Place in oven for approx. 20 minutes or until cheese has become golden brown. Let cool for about 10 minutes and serve! 

This is a recipe I created when I was searching through my fridge and found beef and ravioli. It's amazing how working with what you've got yields creative results! This also freezes well if you'd like to make it ahead of time for those busy nights or camping trips! Just skip putting it in the oven, cover, and freeze. Before eating, you will need to thaw it and bake in oven until golden brown and bubbling. 

Approximate 21 day fix containers per 1 cup serving: 

1.5 yellow 

2 blue 

.5 green 

.5 red 

Serving suggestion- Since this is fairly high in blue containers, feel free to only put half of a bag of mozzarella cheese on top instead of putting an additional layer within the lasagna. Also, limit yourself to 1 cup/1 serving and serve with a heaping salad of greens, chopped veggies, and a vinaigrette dressing.
