Airstream "Mostly Vegetable" Skillet lasagna

 

Made this tasty "mostly vegetable" skillet lasanga last night.  (it does have 1/2 lb of ground beef, that's basically a hamburger's worth of meat spread across 5 meals)

 

I bought some bulk lasanga noodles at Winco, probably about 8 of them. 

I lit the pilot on the oven and turned it to 400 degrees.

Broke the noodles in half, and boiled them in a sauce pan till they were soft and drained the sauce pan.

 

While the noodles were cooking I mixed about half a can of ricotta cheese, with some freshly grated mozarella cheese I had left over from making pizza. 

I then started a little bit of ground beef, about 1/2" lb (one burger) in a 14" iron skillet.

I seasoned the beef with Pizza topping, and then added in a copious amount of mushrooms and bell peppers and let them cook down in the beef.   

I took the mushroom, bell pepper and ground beef mixture and put it on a plate, and wiped up the remaining grease with a paper town leaving just a thin coat on the cast iron for seasoning.

Threw down some Newans Own marinana pasta sauce at the bottom of the iron skillet, then some of the wet noodles, I needed to make them they the pan but still covered.  Lasagna is not an exact science, but I threw down the cheese, then the meta stuffing, a layer of noodles, and some more cheese and meat, then some marinana, the remaining noodle pieces, and threw a couple of pieces of provolone on the top for good measure.

Threw it in the oven (with the cast iron skillet lid) for about 15 minutes, or approximately the time it took me to clean up and do the dishes while not tripping over gravy who was intensely interested in what I was making "us" for dinner, especially since the ground beef had made the airstream smell amazing.

It ended up making about 5 meals, which was two dinners, and three lunches. Although it was so good I ate one of the lunches for a late night snack. :-)
