When it comes to lasagna, there are so many ways that you can make it. One of my favorite versions is my Meatless Skillet Lasagna. Its super easy to make, you won’t miss the meat, and its a one skillet meal which is always a win.
How is this Lasagna Meatless?
The good thing about this skillet lasagna is the fact that you can swap different ingredients and you will genuinely be satisfied with each option. This recipe is considered meatless because you have the option of either using plant based meat or you can use lentils as your “meat” option. I like to use Impossible Ground Meat and Beyond Italian Sausage when making this dish.
If meatless isn’t your thing, then you can replace the plant based ground meat and sausage with the real thing. But to be honest, I don’t think that you’ll find that you will miss it. (
If you would like a traditional vegan lasagna that uses meat replacement and non-dairy cheese, then you need my Vegan Meat Replacement Lasagna in your life now!
