Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Two 10-ounce cans fire roasted tomatoes
One 29-ounce can tomato paste
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 cup diced yellow onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 cups ground beef
1/2 cup red wine
10 ounces cream cheese
1 cup shredded cheese blend (we prefer a Cheddar, mozzarella and provolone mix)
1 cup feta
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup loose chiffonade fresh basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3 to 4 sweet potatoes, sliced thin with a mandoline
1 cup shredded cheese blend (we prefer a Cheddar, mozzarella and provolone mix)

Steps:

  • For the marinara: Put the tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, vinegar and Italian seasoning in a soup pot over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to bubble. Lower the temperature to a simmer and let simmer for 1 hour. Mix the marinara with an immersion blender until only slightly chunky.
  • For the meat filling: Cook the onions and garlic in a large saute pan for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until it begins to brown. Add the red wine and let simmer uncovered, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the meat filling to the finished marinara.
  • For the cheese filling: Combine the cream cheese, shredded cheese, feta, sour cream, basil, oregano and thyme in a large bowl.
  • For the lasagna: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a deep 9-by-13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place one layer of sweet potato slices in the bottom, overlapping the edges just barely. Spread 1 1/2 cups meat marinara over the potatoes, then top with a third of the cream cheese mixture. Repeat the process 2 more times, layering meat marinara, sweet potatoes and cream cheese mixture. Top with the shredded cheese.
  • Cover in foil and bake for 55 minutes. Remove the foil, then bake 5 minutes more.
