Making One Pot Hamburger Helper Lasagna is a seamless process. Follow these easy steps to create this delightful dish:

1. Cook the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
2. Add Onions and Garlic: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Incorporate Tomatoes: Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
4. Add Noodles: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then stir in the broken lasagna noodles. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Check for Tenderness: Ensure the noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed; if necessary, add a bit more broth or water.
6. Add Cheese: Stir in the ricotta cheese until fully incorporated, then fold in half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese.
7. Melt the Cheese: Cover the pot and let it warm over low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Discard the cover and serve warm.
9. Optional Garnish: Top with fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor and color.

By following these simple instructions, you’ll have a hearty and satisfying meal ready to serve in no time!
