Fast, Easy Skillet Lasagna

Fast, Easy Skillet Lasagna

I think cooks must be divided into two camps when it comes to Lasagna. Ya got all those that toss it together with no problem (and yeah, I’m jealous of them) and those that think like I do. I love it (who doesn’t) but it’s a production and then there’s always a mess. And let’s not forget about the amount of time that goes into it. First to make it then to bake it. Raise your hand if you’re with me, here! If you are, I have a solution: Fast Easy Skillet Lasagna!

Cheesy Tomato & Vidalia Pie. A bit of work but this is HEAVEN!!

Tomato Pie’s been on my bucket list for a while! I know – strange, right? Well, maybe not if you have a ton of tomatoes, and maybe not if you’re from the South. Or maybe not if you watch Paula Dean.
