The ultimate comfort food, this Dutch oven lasagna is an easy version of the Italian favorite, made quickly on the stovetop. With layers of noodles, meat sauce and cheese, it's a classic the whole family will love!
Lasagna is one of those crowd-pleasing recipes that never fails. My mother-in-law is famous for her Christmas Eve Lasagna, which combines ground beef and sausage with a creamy tomato sauce and, of course, plenty of gooey cheese. Inspired by Carole’s recipe, I’ve used the same ingredients and transformed them into a simple, one-pot version of the family favorite.
This Dutch oven lasagna requires minimal prep, but delivers maximum flavor. You’ll feel like you’re dining at your favorite Italian restaurant, and it’s quick enough to cook on a busy weeknight. Invite over your friends and family, because there’s plenty of this cheesy stovetop casserole to go around!
