    Pizzagna Recipe

    Why I like this pizzagna recipe

    This pizzagna recipe is great for two main reasons:

    1) There is very little prep. It's just dicing the precooked meat and layering the ingredients in the baking dish. I have this thing assembled in less than 10 minutes. That's a real 10 minutes. Not like the pretend amount of time other quick recipes like to claim. The longest part of this recipe is putting the cold items back in the fridge after it's made.

    2) The pizzagna goes into the oven covered with foil and that's basically it. After 35 minutes, I take the foil off and cook for another 15. That's all. This really frees up my afternoon so I can clean up after my children and referee their fighting over the TV remote.

    Dump a bag of salad in a bowl and we have dinner. You think I'm joking, but I'm not.

    Equipment

    • 2 baking dish

    • Layer two of the lasagna noodles with a little room in between. They will spread out in size as the cook and absorb liquid from the sauce.

    • Finish the final layer with a little more sauce, lots of cheese and meat.
    • Pour extra sauce around the sides of the assemble pizzagna so all sides of the pasta sheets are covered.
    • Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the oven on a middle rack.

    Notes

    Since we are using No Boil lasagna sheets, they need plenty of moisture to cook. Make sure they have enough liquid around them.

    No Boil lasagna noodles, pepperoni and canadian bacon, pizza sauce, loads of cheese.

    Emphasis on the loads of cheese part. Use whatever tomato sauce you love. Or your kids love. There's nothing like watching my kids scarf down dinner without complaining, am I right?!
