Sunday lasagna has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember. Growing up, it was an ‘event’ that was reserved for special occasions because preparations virtually took all day. A long simmering red sauce that would impart a deep roasted tomato flavor was an important ingredient in our family lasagna along with cheese, cheese and more cheese.
But that isn't the case anymore...
We are sooo excited to finally tell you that we have teamed up with Kraft Foods and Hunt's to bring you Sunday Dinner... Any Night of the Week, without all the work.
Some things never change, but now that I am grown and have a family of my own; we have our own lasagna traditions. A hearty lasagna packed full of cheese, meat, and deep tomato flavor is what we prefer, and did I mention more cheese?
Being a very active family we don’t set aside a whole day when we want lasagna. Using simple ingredients like KRAFT Parmesan Cheese and Hunt’s Fire Roasted Diced tomatoes I am able to create our favorite Sunday lasagna in about 40 minutes!
You had to know this lasagna would be loaded with incredible cheesy flavor, being it is my favorite food! With KRAFT’s 5 Cheese Italian Blend Shredded Cheese and 3 Cheese Grated Parmesan it is rich, creamy and oh so cheesy!
Can you say awesome blends?!? The deep tomato flavor that I crave was achieved with Hunt’s Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes, Tomato Sauce and Tomato Paste. This lasagna has an incredible combination of flavors that taste like you have been cooking all day!
Now you can enjoy Sunday dinner any night of the week. Dinner's ready!

Helpful Tips to make 40 Minute Quick and Easy Cheesy Meat Lasagna:
- Using fire-roasted tomatoes in place of crushed or diced tomatoes gives recipes a depth of flavor that makes you think it cooked all day long.
What you will need to make 40 Minute Quick and Easy Cheesy Meat Lasagna:
- A large skillet with a lid – To help the pasta cook evenly, a wide skillet works best, ideally one that’s more than 12 inches in diameter.
- 9x13 Baking Dish- I have my favorites and this set is one of them. The 9x13 is perfect for casseroles and the smaller size is awesome for making 1/2 a casserole recipe.
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
