Why did I create a really easy lasagna for camping, and why a dutch oven lasagna recipe? After all lasagna and outdoor adventure goes together like peas and carrots right?

Well I’ll let you in on a little secret: The iron in the dutch oven reacts to the acid in the tomato sauce, giving you a uniquely delicious lasagna flavor.

With the help of ®Barilla Oven Ready lasagna noodles, and a little preparation at home, this easy lasagna recipe will become one of your favorite camping foods.

This recipe calls for 4 layers (as oven ready noodles tend to be thinner than traditional noodles), but 3 layers will make the lasagna assembly process a little more easy

Noteworthy: The acidity of the marinara sauce will pull any oils you use to coat the dutch oven into the dish itself. So let’s keep it clean people -Canola or Olive oil only.

If you’d like to enjoy something a little different, but just as hearty try the Jalapeno Cornbread Casserole
