Keto Lasagna

We had friends over for lunch recently who are on the Keto diet so I looked for something we could all enjoy.

 

Found this on Peace Love and Low Carb.

It’s so good!

I made a few adjustments but we were all impressed.

Definitely a recipe worth keeping.

Although I’m not on Keto, I’m always looking for low carb options to mix it up.

I hope you enjoy it as well.

Ingredients:

The Layers

·         2 large eggs

·         4 oz cream cheese, softened

·         1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, fresh shredded

·         1 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

·         1/4 tsp Italian seasoning

·         1/4 tsp garlic powder

·         1/4 tsp onion powder

The Filling

·         1 lb ground beef 

·         2 tsp Lowery’s seasoning 

·         1 1/2 cups  Marinara Sauce, divided 

·         3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

·         1/2 cup parmasan cheese, powder form (you can use fresh but I think the powder has more of a kick). 

·         6 tbsp whole milk ricotta cheese, seperated

·         1 tbsp minced onion flakes 

·         1 tsp dried oregano

·         1 tsp garlic powder

·         1 tsp dried basil

Directions

The "Layers"

1.      Preheat oven to 375° Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper. 

2.      Mix together cream cheese and eggs.

3.      Next, add Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

4.      Gently fold in mozzarella cheese.

5.      Spread the mixture into the baking dish, forming a nice even layer. It may not “fill” the whole pan size and that’s ok. 

 

6.      Bake for 20-25 minutes.

7.      When done baking, cool in the fridge for about 20 minutes and then cut into thirds. I just eyeballed it. 

The Filling

          1.      Start to brown the meat in a large pan over medium heat. Add in lowery’s, oregano, garlic, minced onion flakes, and basil seasonings and mix thoroughly until meat is fully cooked.

          2.      Drain excess grease and add in ¾ cup marinara sauce and let simmer for 10 min. 

 

Making the Dish

          1.      Pour ¼ cup marinara sauce into the bottom of a greased 9x5 loaf pan and top with one of the 3 “layers” you made.

         2.      Then top with 1/3^rd ground beef mixture, followed by ¼ cup mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup parmesan cheese: powdered/grated, and finally 3 tbs ricotta cheese. Cover with the second “layer” and repeat.

         3.      Top the final “layer” with the remaining ground beef mixture and cheese.

         4.      Bake for 20 min, until cheese is melted and starting to bubble.

 

Serve warm.

Enjoy!
