What You Need

lb. lean ground beef

jar (24 oz.) spaghetti sauce

1-2/3

cups water

1/4

cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing

green peppers, chopped

cloves garlic, minced

oven-ready lasagna noodle, broken into quarters

cup KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese

It's for dipping and dunking and mixing-upping. And yes, for salad too.

Make It

BROWN meat in large saucepan; drain.

ADD next 5 ingredients; mix well. Bring to boil. Stir in noodles; cover.

COOK on medium-low heat 10 to 15 min. or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheese; cover. Let stand 5 min. or until cheese is melted.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Special Extra

Stir 1/2 cup POLLY-O Original Ricotta Cheese into noodle mixture before sprinkling with shredded cheese.

Shortcut

Traditional lasagna can take up to 2 hours to prepare. Our version only takes 35 minutes. You save almost 1-1/2 hours!

Variation

Substitute 12 regular lasagna noodles, broken into small pieces, for the oven-ready noodles. Increase water to 2 cups and cook 30 min., stirring occasionally.

I use a frozen mix of peppers and onions so I don't have to worry about having fresh ones on hand.

I use italian sausage and pepperoni instead of the ground beef to spice it up some. I also like to use other pastas like penne or rigatoni; just cook them about half way before adding them to the rest of the ingredients. Probably my favorite meal to make and my go to whenever I have guests. Makes great leftovers as well!

Yummy flavor! I didn't have a green pepper so I left it out but it was still good. I used regular lasagna noodles and they still worked fine. Next time I'll probably break up the lasagna noodles a little more.

Have made this several times with my husband and we both enjoy the simplicity of it. I add ricotta cheese at the end. I was skeptical about the italian dressing but it gives it a really nice tang.

I would use a little less of the dressing and alittle more water.

Love It!!! So easy & quick to make! I don't add the mozzarella cheese while cooking...just let each person put on their own before eating. Everyone in my family loves this!

This tasted even better than it looked! Next time I'll add a chopped onion and the ricotta cheese. Yum.
