Pizza Lasagna Skillet Bake (Printer-Friendly)

Hearty skillet with savory meats, marinara, noodles, and melted cheese for a cozy, flavorful dinner.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Meats

01 - 1/2 pound ground beef
02 - 1/2 pound Italian sausage, casing removed
03 - 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
04 - 20 slices pepperoni

→ Produce & Aromatics

05 - 1 medium yellow onion, diced

→ Seasonings

06 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

→ Pantry

09 - 2 cups marinara sauce
10 - 4 sheets lasagna noodles, broken into 2-inch pieces
11 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

# Steps to Make This:

01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add broken lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine ground beef, Italian sausage, and diced onion. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking up meat, until no pink remains and onion is tender. Drain excess grease, reserving a portion of the meat mixture for topping.
03 - Return skillet to heat and add marinara sauce, half the pepperoni slices, and half the cooked bacon crumbles to the meat. Stir thoroughly and simmer until sauce thickens and coats the meat evenly.
04 - Add drained lasagna pieces to the skillet. Gently fold to coat noodles with sauce without breaking them apart.
05 - Spread shredded mozzarella evenly over the skillet mixture. Sprinkle reserved cooked meat, remaining bacon crumbles, and remaining pepperoni slices on top. Bake at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden.
06 - Allow skillet to rest five minutes to set. Serve warm directly from the skillet for optimal comfort and flavor.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Breaking lasagna noodles by hand creates rustic edges that better capture the sauce.
02 - For crisper pepperoni, place slices on top before baking to allow edges to crisp.
03 - Leftovers improve as flavors meld overnight. Store in airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days.
