One Pot Lasagna

One Pot Lasagna is a one pot meal quick fix if you have a taste for lasagna and little time. This recipe is made with turkey but you can use any meat.

One Pot Lasagna is great for satisfying my lasagna craving when I don’t have time to make lasagna. I like to add extra spice by adding hot pepper flakes to the sausage when it is browning. If you don’t like as much spice then buy mild sausage and don’t add red pepper flakes. 

Cost Per Serving is about $3.18 as of August 2022

I am assuming you have salt and pepper and do not add it into the recipe total cost.
