Directions
-
Brown the Meats: Begin by placing a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage, breaking them apart with a wooden spoon. Sauté until they are browned and crumbled, which should take about 5-7 minutes. This step builds tremendous flavor, so make sure to drain any excess fat afterward.
-
Add the Crispy Elements: To the skillet, add the pepperoni slices and chopped bacon. Stir them in, cooking until the pepperoni becomes crispy, about 3-4 minutes. The combination of these meats gives a tremendous depth of taste that you will savor with every bite.
-
Incorporate the Sauce: Now, add the broken lasagna noodles into the skillet along with the jar of marinara or pizza sauce. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning to elevate the flavors. Stir everything well to ensure that the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 15 minutes. This will allow the noodles to absorb the flavors fully.
-
Melt the Cheese: After simmering, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the mixture in the skillet. Cover once more and reduce the heat to low. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes. The fragrant aroma will give you a tremendous inclination to dig right in!
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the cheese has reached its gooey perfection, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve while hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy the fantastic combination of flavors and textures, making memories around the table.
