Hamburger Helper Skillet Lasagna

When I was growing up, Hamburger Helper was all the rage. This heartwarming comfort food was convenient, affordable, and was tasty. Although I enjoyed the various Hamburger Helper dinners, my favorite was the Lasagna. 

I decided to recreate a healthier and tastier version of Hamburger Helper Skillet Lasagna. This delectable and budget friendly dish is easy to make, hearty, and healthier than the boxed dinner version - the ultimate comfort food for a chilly wintry day. 

Bon appétit.
