Garden Fresh Lasagna


I made this for my family when we we're in Monticello one time and they seemed to really like it. Served it with french bread.

1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
2 1/2 cups hot water
1/2 cup milk
1 box Hamburger Helper lasagna
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 small tomato, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 small bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced (1 cup)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz)

In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain.
2. Stir in hot water, milk, uncooked pasta and sauce mix (from Hamburger Helper box), oregano and garlic powder. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
3. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato, bell pepper, zucchini and cheese. Cover; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; uncover (sauce will thicken as it stands). Stir before serving
