1 lb (500 g) lean ground beef

2 1/2 cups (625 mL) hot water

1/2 cup (125 mL) milk

1 box Hamburger Helper* Lasagne

1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried oregano leaves

1/4 tsp (1 mL) garlic powder

1 small tomato, coarsely chopped (about 1/2 cup/125 mL)

1 small bell pepper, coarsely chopped (1/2 cup/125 mL)

1 small zucchini, thinly sliced (1 cup/250 mL)

1 cup (250 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese

In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain.
Stir in hot water, milk, uncooked pasta and sauce mix (from Hamburger Helper box), oregano and garlic powder. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
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.

Hamburger Helper* Lasagna

Time Saver : Serve dinner right out of the skillet to save on cleanup time!

Substitution : Tired of zucchini? You can use 1 cup of Green Giant frozen cut green beans instead of the zucchini. Stir in the beans with the pasta. Simmer 15 minutes before adding tomato and bell pepper.

Special Touch : Sprinkle lasagne with 1/4 cup sliced ripe olives.
