Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Baked French Bread


Today’s Menu: Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna w/ Baked French Bread





We are celebrating my Dad's Birthday today, he's 91! We were going to grill some steaks but he wanted some Lasagna so that's what we had. This is our favorite Lasagna, Progresso Kitchen Favorites Classic Lasagna. It was very easy to make as the dinner kit contained the Lasagna Pasta, Tomato Herb sauce, Ricotta Sauce Mix, and Grated Parmesan Cheese. I added 1 LB. Lean Ground Turkey, 1 Cup water, 2/3 Cup 2% Milk, 1 (8 oz.) Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (2 Cups), and I also added a bit more seasoning (McCormick Grinder Italian Herb). Basically you just layer your ingredients in a 8″ square baking dish and cover and bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes and bake an additional 10 minutes uncovered. The product description along with full instructions are at the bottom of the post.




Prepared by the instructions it was 390 calories but I cut that and the carb count down by using Honeysuckle White Extra Lean Ground Turkey instead of Beef and Sargento Reduced Fat 2% Mozzarella Cheese. The Lasagna came out delicious! Everyone really loves this. I’ve got a quick and easy way to have Lasagna now. The flavor was excellent. The Sauce was thick and well seasoned and the same for the pasta, perfect. We had a side of Walmart Marketside French Bread. Just bake at 400 for 12 minutes and it's ready. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.
