Easy Keto Recipe Meat Lasagna
Ingredients
Noodles
- 4 ounces softened cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 teaspoons dried, minced onions
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 cups Garlic & Herb Marinara sauce
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 tablespoons ricotta cheese (not low fat)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a 13x9 baking dish with parchment paper.
- Using a hand mixer, combine softened cream cheese and eggs in a large bowl. My cream cheese wasn't fully softened so it was a little chunky but it turned out just fine.
- Add parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning garlic powder, and onion powder to the large bowl mixture. Mix well.
- Fold in mozzarella cheese with a spatula.
- Spread mixture on lined baking dish evenly.
- Bake on middle rack for 20-25 minutes (I did 25) until golden brown.
- Let cool in the fridge for about 20 minutes and then cut crosswise into thirds. This will give you the perfect size "noodles" for a 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan.
Filling
- In a large pan, combine the ground beef, dried minced onions, basil, oregano, and garlic powder and cook over medium-high heat. Cook until meat is fully cooked and browned.
- Drain excess grease and add 1 cup of marinara sauce to the pan with meat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Putting it all together
- Put 1/4 cup of marinara sauce into the 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan and place the first noodle layer on top.
- Then layer 1/3 of the meat sauce on top of the noodle. Followed by 3 Tablespoons of ricotta cheese and 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese. Add another noodle layer and follow these steps once more to create 2 full layers.
- Add last noodle and then the last of the meat sauce. Spread the last 1/4 cup of marinara sauce over the meat sauce and cover with last 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Sprinkle the Italian season on top for seasoning.
- Bake for about 20 minutes. You are supposed to let it rest for 10 minutes before serving (although we only waited about 5).
