"This recipe is not meant to replace your usual lasagna but is a quick version. It doesn't use ricotta cheese, but a sour cream/cream cheese combo. This is a small batch recipe for 2 made in a mini loaf pan. If you happen to be cooking for yourself and have a serving leftover, it does freeze and reheat well. "

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
Step 2
Add the tomato sauce, minced garlic, pepper and salt (if using). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Step 3
In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sour cream, 1/3 cup cheddar cheese and Italian seasoning (to taste); mix well. Note: Since it is a small amount you can do this by hand easily.
Step 4
Measure your lasagna noodles to fit the mini loaf pan and set aside.
Step 5
Spread a couple tablespoons of meat sauce on the bottom of pan and place 2 pieces of noodles on top.
Step 6
Top with 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture and half the meat sauce.
Step 7
Repeat the noodle, cream cheese and meat mixture once and top with the remaining 2 pieces of noodles.
Step 8
Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top and sprinkle some more Italian seasoning on top if desired. Note: can use more cheddar on top.
Step 9
Place mini loaf pan on a baking sheet or cookie sheet (it bubbles up while baking and may spill a bit cause of the size of the pan.)
Step 10
Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes.
Step 11
Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
