Happy Monday friends. Today I’m sharing an easy and delicious recipe with you all. When I was in my 20’s I used to buy boxed lasagna all the time. I loved it and that was my go to meal. In fact I think that’s all my hubby and I lived off of our first year of marriage. While I was shopping at Wal-Mart this past week, I noticed that Kraft Natural Cheeses came in a larger 1 pound size and I couldn’t resist buying some. I just love cheese. Who doesn’t?
I really like Kraft’s Natural Cheese’s. I love that you can save time with the already pre-shredded packages. Plus they have a huge selection of favors. One of the many reasons I love Kraft Natural Cheeses is because they’re well balanced, nutritious, and made with fresh and natural ingredients. You’ll love them! I use them in all sorts of recipes. Anywhere from tacos, quesadillas, omelets and pasta dishes.
I knew once I bought these cheese packages that I needed to make my skillet lasagna. I came by this recipe on accident actually. It’s one of my aunt’s recipes she gave me a while ago. So I tweaked it a little here and there and wha-la. This Simple Skillet Lasagna was born. I’ve made this recipe for parties, work functions for the hubby and at home. Every time I make this recipe, I always love how easy and quick it comes together.
You all know that I’m all about easy and quick meals in our home and this simple skillet lasagna takes minutes to whip up.
Last week I was feeling blah so I knew this was the perfect dinner. It’s been getting colder and all I want to do it bundle up. I don’t know why, but when it’s cold outside I just want to be lazy. It’s probably a good thing I don’t live in an area where it snows and rains 24/7. Could you imagine? I would be sitting on the couch all day, watching lifetime movies and drinking coffee. Nothing would get done. 😉
No matter if it’s a busy day, or you need a pretty meal for that next potluck you need to consider this Simple Skillet Lasagna. It’s rich in flavor and taste better than any store-bought lasagna, but with out the hassle. Make this for dinner and you’ll be the best cook ever!

- 2/3 cups condensed cream of celery soup

Hi!
This looks delicious and I am so excited to try it.
This is probably a silly question. But can I use my cast iron skillet for this recipe?
Thank you so much!
