- For 20 minute skillet lasagna recipe we use ground beef as the main protein source. However, if you would like to look for alternatives for the ground beef, check out healthy meat substitutes by Better Homes and Gardens that you can use in place of the beef.
- Depending on if you are one that likes sour cream, you might not have it already available. You are able to substitute it with plain Greek yogurt if you have that, or there have been plenty who have used 4 ounces of cream cheese in its place. Note that the cream cheese will most likely make the pasta a little thicker but just as tasty!
