Meat Lasagna (No Noodles) Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by aerin8

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups diced celery
1/2 cup diced red onion
2 pounds ground beef
15 ounces tomato sauce (no sugar added)
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
CHEESE FILLING
15 ounces ricotta cheese
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the celery and onion, and cook until slightly tender. 2 Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain off the excess fat with a spoon or turkey baster. 3 Add the tomato sauce, garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and simmer for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. 4 Mix the ingredients for the cheese filling together in a bowl, using only half of the mozzarella. 5 Fill the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish with the meat filling and top with the cheese filling. 6 Cover the top with the remaining 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese. 7 Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the top starts to become golden and bubbly. 8 Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing (the lasagna will hold together better). HELPFUL HINTS You can also make this with half ground beef and half crumbled Italian sausage for even more flavor. Calories: 350|Fat: 19g |Protein: 40g |Fiber: 1g |Net Carbs: 4g

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to your lasagna. Some good options include zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. A combination of mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan is a classic, but you can also try using other types of cheese, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or fontina.
  • Be sure to cook the lasagna until it is heated through. The center of the lasagna should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the lasagna to set and make it easier to cut.

Conclusion:

No-noodle lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its endless variations, you can customize it to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give no-noodle lasagna a try!
