I have received product from Swiss Diamond, but all opinions are my own.

I don’t know about you but once the weather turns colder I love making warm and comforting dishes like lasagna.   I like loading my lasagna up with veggies, meat, and cheese.   However, I hate how much time it takes to cook everything, layer it, and get it into the oven.  That’s not to mention all the pans I have to clean!

Everything you need to cook One Pot Lasagna

That’s why last week I decided to make an easy One Pot Lasagna.   In order to make this dish you need a sturdy casserole dish or Dutch Oven that can go both on the stove top and in the oven.  I used my gorgeous Swiss Diamond 6.9 Quart Round Casserole in Blue.  I love this pot because it is deep, made of superior premium quality enamel,  and is great for transitioning between the stove top and the oven.

In order to make this lasagna I simply sauteed all of my vegetables in the pot and then added in my ground beef.  Once that was cooked I added in my sauce and some seasoning.   Then I broke apart oven ready lasagna noodles, mixed them in with the mixture, and topped it off with cheese.  I took it directly off of the stove and put it into the oven to bake.

I love how easy it was to make lasagna this way!  My husband, toddler, and I all enjoyed it once it came out of the oven.  It was well cooked, the noodles were soft, and it had a lot of flavor.  I like that there were so many vegetables in it because my son ate them without blinking an eye.  Plus we had plenty left over for dinner the next day.  Bonus!

One Pot Lasagna is easy to make!

One of the best parts of this dish is that it was super easy to get it out of the pan.   Plus, cleaning the pan was a snap!  I didn’t even have to get out my scrubber for this one.  Usually when I make lasagna everything is caked on the pan, I have to soak it, and it’s a mess.  That isn’t the case with the Swiss Diamond 6.9 Quart Round Casserole.  I had no trouble cleaning it at all!

  1. We cook most of our meals on the stove top, so I would start with home fries. You can make them an endless number of ways to suit any taste.
