I love my SOS mix- it really makes many things in the kitchen come together for a delicious meal! We all have liked Lasagna Casserole and so now I made my own creamy version with SOS mix!
To make this particular meal super easy and slick is to have pre-cooked ground beef (packed in 1lb. packs) like we do for our chicken and sausage too. Honestly, if I have time, I will cook from the raw form, but if I am short on time, I grab a pre-cooked one! Also,having your SOS mix pre-made for so many of your meal needs.
SOS mix is a simple quick mix to create and store in your pantry that will replace all canned creamed soups, gravies, sauces and cheese sauces. We talk about it A LOT on our site because we use it many times per week!
See our SOS Mix recipe and ideas HERE to use it for your common replacements in the kitchen
So now on with this time-saving, money-saving, Italian comfort food!
Here’s the ingredients needed:
- 1 lb. ground beef cooked, drained and rinsed (you can make this vegetarian too!)
- 1 16oz. package of any shape pasta (wheat and gluten-free also work well!)
- 1 and 1/4 cup of prepared SOS mix (to make: use 1/3 cup of dry mix and 1 1/4 cups of water and whisk on the stovetop on medium heat until blended and thick)
- 2-3 sm. cans of tomato sauce with Italian, Basil, Oregano spices or 1 jar of pasta sauce
- 1 16oz. container of cottage cheese (FAR cheaper than Ricotta)
- 2 Cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
These are the base ingredients, you can also have add-ins based on what you have on hand or to make it more gourmet!
- Mushrooms
- Onions
- Garlic
- Carrot Shreds
- Bell pepper
- Zucchini
- Bread Crumbs
Here’s how to make it:
- Saute’ the onions, garlic and other veggies in butter or coconut oil on the stovetop until tender
- Cook your pasta (See our recommendations for cooking pasta to be healthier HERE)
- *Prepare your 1 1/4 cup of SOS mix (again, 1/3 cup of dry mix whisked into 1 1/4 cup of water in a saucepan and cooked on med. until thicker and creamy)
- In a separate bowl, mix the cottage cheese and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese.
- Then add the cooked SOS mix to the cheese mixture and mix until well blended and any of the optional add-ins
- Then add the 1-lb. of cooked ground beef.
- Then add the tomato sauces/spice or jar of pasta sauce and mix until well blended
- Finally, stir-in the cooked, drained pasta and blend again
- Then spray a 9×13 pan and pour this mixture into the pan
- Top with the remaining 1-cup of Mozzarella cheese and bread crumbs
- Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until top is browning and bubbly!
- Enjoy with steamed veggies and salad!
My family loves this casserole! It is down home Italian Comfort Food to the Max!
*Also, please note, if you did not want to use SOS mix or do not have any on hand, you can also substitute with 1 cup of sour cream mixed with Italian seasonings or Basil/Oregano.
